New Principal Recommended for LFHS

Lake Forest High School Superintendent Michael Simek has recommended Barry Rodgers as the new principal to replace Jay Hoffmann, who retired for personal reasons.

The school board is expected to vote on the recommendation at its regular meeting Tuesday, reported the Chicago Tribune.

If approved, Rodgers will begin his new position effective July 1, according to a memo from Simeck to the school community posted in the Gazebo News.

Rodgers, who currently serves as principal of Northside College Prep High, said he was “very honored and excited to serve as principal of Lake Forest High School."
