The Lake Highlands Community got the opportunity to meet our new LHHS principal Monday evening at the high school.

A steady stream of students and parents spent a little over an hour visiting with Peggy Dillon in the 'Cats library on campus.

At one point, about a dozen Highlandettes took a break from practice to stop by and say hello.

Smart girls that they are, they came bearing a welcome gift.

The team's giant cookie was a hit with Principal Dillon, who exclaimed, "you've already found my sweet spot, I but insist you stick around and help me eat this!"

Councilman Jerry Allen also stopped in to meet Dillon and commented on her hiring.

"I've heard nothing but great things about Ms. Dillon. Even before meeting her, you know she had to be an impressive candidate to get this job."

Dillon's not wasting any time settling in.

"It's only been a few weeks," she said "But I'm so grateful for the way I've been welcomed to LHHS."
