The faculty and staff of Lake Highlands High School greeted their new principal today in the LHHS library. Walter Kelly comes from Richardson West Junior High with rave reviews from parents there. "He’s a brilliant young man," said Rita Greenfield, who works in the LHHS front office. "He came in with a smile on his face and called us all by name." Opportunities for parents and community members to meet Mr. Kelly are being planned, but Miss Rita gives him a Thumbs Up so far. "I’m a good judge of character," she said today. "I really like the man."
