Jones was appointed principal when Principal Cone transferred to District Office in 1994. During his tenure, he presided over the series of bomb threats that interrupted the 1995-96 school year as well as a sex scandal in which at least eight students (including seven members of the PHS Tigers football team) received oral sex from a 15-year-old special education student in a stadium locker room. They were eventually charged with lewd and lascivious assault on a child under 16. Principal Jones, himself a former NFL football player, was accused of attempting to cover up the incident to protect the members of the playoff-bound football team. Superintendent Bill Maloy removed Jones from his position on June 4, 1996,[1] along with two assistant principals, football coach David Wilson and assistant football coach Kevin Sanders.[2]
Richard Harper temporarily replaced him as principal until a more permanent replacement was found in Larry Huntley.
