We've got some comings and goings among principals and senior administrators.
Here's one a lot of you guys have been waiting for. Scott Lyons will become principal of Leesville Road High School in North Raleigh, replacing Stephen Gainey, who became assistant superintendent for human resources.
Lyons has been principal of Ligon Middle School since 2005. He used to be a teacher and assistant principal at Enloe High.
While one high school principal came, another left.
School officials said Mike Holton resigned today as principal of Garner High, a position he had held since 2006. No reason was given for his departure.
Also today, Charles Langley was chosen to fill in as interim principal of West Lake Elementary School in Apex. The retired principal of Willow Springs Elementary replaces Mary Warren, who is now principal of Herbert Akins Road Elementary.
Mabry (Joe) Desormeaux will be the new assistant superintendent for facilities, replacing Mike Burriss, who left to take a job in the private sector. Desormeaux has been senior director for maintenance and operations since 2001.
