High School Principal Selection

We are spending a good deal of time in searching for the right candidate to become the second principal of LovejoyHigh School. We are currently reviewing applications and conducting screening interviews. Total applications are approaching 150 and we have paper screened all of them to date and conducted 3 screening interviews. I very much appreciate the time that many of you gave to offer input on the profile of the new principal. If you would like to offer input and have not yet had an opportunity to attend a meeting, please know you are welcomed to either call or email me with your thoughts.

As always, I am very proud to serve this community as superintendent. Last Saturday night, I had the pleasure to celebrate the Lovejoy ISD with the Foundation’s annual gala. It was fun and due to your generosity, the Foundation will be able to make a significant contribution to the education of your children. I am sure they will be announcing the total amount earned within the next 30 days.

If you have specific questions that can be answered by the school district, please email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or give me a call on my cell at 972-415-8129.

With Respect,
