Use of "Mr." , "Ms." etc. for Adults

This article uses "Mr.", "Ms.", etc., to refer to various school staff.

While this is common usage in a school's own documents when referring to adult staff - (supposedly to differentiate them from students and encourage an air of respect), it has no place in Wkikpedia. I think we all know that the principal is an adult (and not a 14 yr. old), so these use of these titles is superfluous.

Also, if the President of the United States' name in Wikipedia is given as "Barack Obama" (and not "Mr. Barack Obama"), I think that the staff of the Lexington Public Schools can be listed without the "Mr." and "Ms." prefixes, as well.
