Greg Lehr’s education career is coming full circle. Lehr, a 1996 Valley Center High School graduate who was an administrator in the school district for 12 years, was named the district’s next superintendent. “This is home. This is where we want to be,” he said. Lehr was one of two candidates the school board interviewed last week. The board’s appointment was announced after a special meeting May 5. “Greg’s track record here with the kids-first mentality and then throughout his interview, it was very centered on student achievement, getting kids involved, engaged in the school district, and that’s what we want in a leader,” board President Ben Wilson said. Lehr will officially start in July, although he has already been involved in the process of hiring a middle school principal and an assistant superintendent.
