Biography

History at SMES Steve Balak was orignally hired to replace friendly, student-supported Tim Quinn. Balak was orignally envisioned to be strong in characteristics which Quinn lacked; namely, a tougher disposition, a more thorough work ethic, and an astute attention to detial. In these respects, Steve Balak proved himself unfailingly. However, though he embodied traits that his predecessor was lacking, he conversely lacked any of Quinn's strengths, such as an open mind, likeable personality, and the ability to remember students' names. Within a year or so of his hiring, Balak had earned the discontent of the vast majority of students, staff, faculty, and parents. While the school's reputation slid, Balak's attempts to regain control were misguided at best. For example, student misbehavior was confronted by introducing a rotation schedule, which, needless to say, was a catastrophic failure.
