15:01Now PlayingThe Pennsylvania Principal at the center of diploma drama at Philadelphia High School is no longer there.
Lisa Mesi, the former at the Philadelphia High School for Girls, was replaced following a public outcry calling for accountability. Mesi gained significant attention on social media after several graduates were denied their diplomas on stage due to expressions of excitement from their families.
Although the students eventually received their diplomas after the ceremony, the incident left them and their families feeling embarrassed and unsatisfied with the resolution.
After the incident, the Philadelphia High School for Girls temporarily appointed Janis Butler as the substitute principal.
It remains unclear whether Lisa Mesi will return to the school.
