Farewell Message From the Principal
Dear LISA West High School Families,
It is with sincere words that I write this e-mail to inform you that as of March 19, 2021, I will be leaving the principal position of LISA Academy West High School and beginning in a new position as principal of the new LISA Academy Arkansas Hybrid School.
It has been a pleasure to serve as the principal at this school since July 8, 2019. I hope you know how much I have enjoyed these last two years. It has been my good fortune to experience a wonderful partnership with the students, staff, and families in our community.
Mr. Ismail Dilber, currently the principal at LISA West Middle School, will become the new principal at LISA Academy West High School, effective March 29, 2021(Right after the spring break). He was working at this school from 2018 to 2020 as a counselor then dean of academics. So, most of you already know him. I am very positive that he will be serving as a great principal. He is looking forward to serving our students, families, and staff.
I would like to thank you for the opportunity to serve you, your children, and this outstanding school community, and hope you know I am especially proud of our students. I look forward to hearing great things about their accomplishments as they continue their education at LISA Academy West High School and beyond.
Sincerely,
Aydogan Altun
Principal
LISA West High School
