Greenon selects new principal

By Megan Gildow | Wednesday, January 14, 2009, 05:03 AM

A former Indian Valley Middle School teacher will take over duties as principal of Hustead Elementary at the end of the month, Greenon Superintendent Lori Lytle announced Tuesday, Jan. 13.

Brian Kuhn, 27, will start at Hustead Feb. 2. He replaces long-time principal Jack Hillard who is retiring at the end of the month after more than 35 years as an educator.

“It’s never easy to say goodbye to someone who has served students and staff with such dedication,” said Lytle. “I feel strongly that the addition of Brian to the Greenon family will start a new chapter at Hustead that will be both positive and exciting for students, staff and our parents.”

Kuhn taught one year at Indian Valley before accepting a position at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in the Starbase program. Starbase is a community outreach program targeted at fifth grade students to encourage interest in science, math and technology.

Kuhn has been with the Starbase program for four years, said Lytle.

Eighteen candidates applied for the job, said Lytle. Kuhn and four others were interviewed.
