Krampus fills in as substitute Dean

`Students wanted to transfer immediately when President Brendan Conroy announced Krampus’ arrival as the temporary dean in order to allow Mr. Dan O’Connor and Mrs. Julie Chappetto some much-deserved vacation time. As a result, MC has been in shambles ever since. The Admissions and Deans’ Office schooled him on attendance lines, dress code, MC’s parent surveillance system (a.k.a. Blackbaud), and, most importantly, MC’s infamous penalty system: detentions, Saturday JUGS, and suspensions.
“I am not looking forward to seeing the substitute dean,” said senior Dominic Mancilla. “This monster will expel everybody for the silliest reasons, even the students who are so well-behaved that they’ve never even sniffed a referral, let alone a detention. I’m worried about the invasion of Krampus.”
This was not Krampus’s first time being in charge of a high school. He is a certified freak well-known for giving astounding detentions in his career. He has worked at DePaul Prep and St. Ignatius. He is not just known to give reasonable disciplinary strikes to bad students, but he is known to give out expulsions and jugs with no rationale or tact. The ghoul expelled a DePaul Prep senior for stealing a pencil and made a mission statement at St. Ignatius threatening to expel anyone with less than an A.
In addition to handing out detentions, the monster secretly stole Mr. Glonek’s job of doing dress code checks and made strict rules on many student’s haircuts. All of these reasons serve for one purpose: he is secretly here to turn everyone from immature students to elite disciplinary officers.
Some students were worried about their participation in winter sports.
“I need to play basketball.” said junior and varsity basketball player, Noah Mister after making fun of a freshman’s basketball skills. “If I don’t, then I would forever regret coming to this school.”
The theology department noticed that Krampus was morally wrong and that he couldn’t be trusted. “I don’t trust this dark red and blue abomination,” said teacher Mr. Matthew Petrich. “He wants enlightenment, and enlightenment is not one of the three pillars of Carmelite faith.”
The class president, Christos Dimas, is looking to appeal to the admissions office about the eradication of Krampus.
“We will end this notorious saga once and for all,” Christos stated. “He is trying to take down my legacy of implementing student dress down day. Not on my watch. Victory will be achieved as we begin our student rebellion.”
Since teachers were also being reprimanded by the dean, they were on the students' side.
“I am proud of these students,” said history teacher Mr. Nolan Nevrly. “They are using what they learned about the cossacks and peasant rebellions to take down this Krampus dynasty.”
These rebellions failed, and only two percent of MC students survived without getting detention. However, the deans dismissed this ghoul, thanking him with presents and thanksgiving after such a polite and courteous way to treat these high school students.
Krampus was upset to hear this news. He tried sending down bad students in the snow to prevent the Deans from getting into Mt. Carmel. The students were afraid to encounter the deans, and scurried away. Krampus’s career at Mt. Carmel was over.
“Thank you so much Krampus,” wrote Mr. Bill Nolan, the school’s Dean of Faculty, in a farewell address. “You did a great job helping these students out. I am pretty sure you didn’t give outstanding detentions or jump on them, and made sure to enforce the right rules.”
When the monster left, the student body was awarded a free dress-down day while Krampus went to where he belongs–St. Rita.
