A Message From the Principal
To Our South Mountain Families,
I would like to share some personal news with all of you. I am planning on retiring on September 1 this year. This was a very difficult decision to make. I think you all know how much I care about this community and your wonderful children, and how honored I feel to work with our exceptional South Mountain staff. However, I want to spend more time with my children and grandchildren, as well as my mom in Ireland.
Thank you all for allowing me to support teaching and learning at South Mountain. It has been my honor and joy.
Tina Lehn
