   The Tuscumbia system has two top administrators retiring this summer, Superintendent Royce Massey and Deshler High School Principal Larry Danley,
   ...
   Danley, 58, has spent his 34-year career in Tuscumbia. A Deshler High School graduate, he went on to become principal of the school for five years. Before that, he spent 12 years as principal of the district's middle school.
   
   Danley's sense of humor and commitment to students are characteristics that he says developed as a result of having good role models when he was a student.
   
   "I took a little bit from each of three strong and unique administrators when I was in high school," Danley said. "Those men really cared deeply about students, and I tried to emulate that in my administrative style."
   
   He calls Deshler High School "an upbeat place that I'll really miss."
   
   But in his retirement, he says he plans to resume playing golf, a hobby that has taken a back seat to meeting school demands and some minor health issues for the past few years.
   
   "My first order of business is to try to be a good house husband for my wife," he jokes.

   Teaching others to value education can be an uphill battle, said Deshler High School Principal Larry Danley. His school's dropout rate in 2006 was 13.8 percent.
   
   "We're constantly working on strategies to reduce dropouts," he said. "Most of them come from the ninth and 10th grades and it's strongly tied to the home."
   
   Danley said schools where parents are of higher income levels don't generally have as great a problem with dropouts.
   
   "The education level of parents definitely makes a difference," he said.
