Lake Highlands High School graduate Whitney Holotik stars in “Mania/gift,” a new play featured in the 16th annual Festival of Independent Theatres (FIT), sponsored by Dallas’ Office of Cultural Affairs, which wraps up this month at the Bath House Cultural Center. See the calendar on p. 20 for details.

The Lake Highlands and Bishop Lynch High School communities last month mourned the loss of David Post, who taught 20 years at the high school, lived in the Lake Highlands neighborhood and was a member of St. Patrick’s parish. He died July 2, 18-months after being diagnosed with cancer. Post’s passions included consumption of the written word — “from Stephen King to Gore Vidal to Plato,” he wrote in his BL staff bio — as well as both “high and popular culture — I might be found any night at a Vivaldi concerto at the Myerson, a U2 concert at American Airlines Center or a modernist Avant Garde Strindberg play in Deep Ellum.” He also loved to travel. He led the mock trial team, coached men’s golf and taught both U.S. history and government at BL. Post leaves behind two daughters — Sarah, who graduated from Lynch in ’04 and Hannah, who just graduated this year — and wife, Susan.

Schools

After the arrest of a former Lake Highlands High School teacher charged with and improper relationship and indecency with a child, the Richardson ISD released the following statement: Lake Highlands Freshman Center teacher Ethan Brown resigned May 29 after the district began investigating a possible inappropriate relationship between Brown and a LHHS student. Because RISD is committed to the safety and wellbeing of students, we take all reports of potential impropriety seriously. Dallas Police were contacted and RISD is cooperating with their investigation. Brown had been a teacher at Lake Highlands Freshman Center and a coach at Lake Highlands High School since 2010.”

LHHS will begin the 2014-2015 school year this month with a new head principal. Peggy Dillon, who has manned the post four years, has been promoted to executive director of high schools at the Richardson ISD administration building. At time of publication, the new principal had not been announced.
