Neighbor Mary Vann recently brought to my attention that not only did Bob Iden retire and the Lake Highlands Freshman Center get a new principal this year, but a handful of other LH schools are in principal transition, too.

A glance at the Richardson ISD principals page shows that Jeremy Gilbert of Wallace Elementary (who went to Highland Park’s Hyer Elementary) has been replaced by Debbie Evans, former assistant principal at Carolyn Bukhair Elementary; Lorine Burrell left Lake Highlands Junior High after 25 years to go to the Christa McAuliffe Learning Center, and assistant principal Veronica Escalante moved up to take the helm; and Becky Reidling is no longer at White Rock Elementary, instead it’s Nancy Kinzie, former principal of Richardson Heights Elementary.

That’s just a glance. There may be more.
