Welcoming Dr. Erin Lenart
Following a national search process and community engagement that included LFHS stakeholder surveys, focus groups, and interviews, Dr. Erin Lenart was selected from a field of 27 candidates as the next LFHS Principal in May 2021.
"Dr. Lenart has an outstanding track record for inclusive practices, instructional leadership, and a deep commitment to social-emotional learning," says Superintendent Montgomery who actively participated in the search process. “She was a clear choice among the majority of our stakeholders."
“Dr. Lenart is a builder of results, teams, and community,” says District 115 Board President Zinser. “We cannot wait to see her build upon Lake Forest High School’s tradition of excellence and further the school’s trajectory of growth.”
“I am thrilled to be setting down new roots in the Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, and Knollwood communities,” reflects Dr. Lenart. “Having the opportunity to see Lake Forest High School’s beautiful campus, spend a little time in the community, and at our school has been such a gift during my transition. I look forward to living, learning, and leading in District 115. Go Scouts!”
Dr. Lenart has served as Principal of Fairfax High School in Fairfax, Virginia, since 2018. She, her husband, and two Jack Russell Terriers will reside in Lake Forest
Dr. Montgomery and Dr. Lenart will hold meet-and-greet town halls for the school community in August.
