Yes, our principal was featured on Digital Life this
tuesday.
I will summarise wat he wrote 
Apparently, Mr. Simen Lourds encourages students to develop their
talents in other areas other than in academic ones- so much so that
he organized a DotA competition within the school and even paid for
the prizes, worth $1,100 in all, out of his very own pocket.
Furthermore, the article reported that the 49-year-old principal
also fought for a gaming center to be built on-campus, in which the
$80K gaming center will be where students can play the latest games
like Command & Conquer 3.
It was written further down the article that his openness towards
gaming has endeared him to his students- evidently shown from among
the many SMS messages received from them, one of which says: You
are THE best principal!
As the principal of Montfort puts it, You cant stop students from
gaming, its the interest of the new generation, and schools are
fighting a losing battle trying to stop it. I wont fight it, I
will manage it instead.
