Default Need advice on fine-tuning a sentence, thanks sooo much teachers!

Does the following sentence need any fine-tuning? Thanks soooo much, teachers.


Vivian quickly went to the reception desk to get help from the janitors. One of them told the headmasters, one came to comfort me, and another of them dialled the emergency number.

It's OK, but should 'headmasters' be plural?
