When Lincoln North Star High School first opened in 2004, Megan Kroll was on the staff that helped welcome its first students.
She was a first-year math teacher back then, fresh out of college, but she stayed on as a Navigator, eventually becoming the math department chair, an instructional coordinator and later associate principal.
Now, 18 years since she first started at North Star, Kroll is preparing to take on a new position she calls a "dream job": Principal.
"I am so incredibly honored and excited to have that opportunity," Kroll said Friday. "The students and the community, they're just amazing. The culture we have established here, it's just welcoming and so rich with all the students and the diversity. It's just a great place."
Kroll is among 10 new principals named by Lincoln Public Schools on Friday in a wave of promotions that closes the book on a number of openings across the district.Ìý
Across town, Lincoln East associate principal Casey Fries, who has also handled duties as principal of the district's one-year remote learning program, will take over for Principal Sue Cassata, who will lead Standing Bear High School when it opens in 2023.
Kroll replaces Ryan Zabawa, who is taking over as the LPS director of student services after Russ Uhing announced his retirement. Zabawa was also at North Star when it first opened, serving as associate principal until 2009 and coming back to lead the school in 2018.
"He's always been someone that has allowed me opportunities to learn to lead and has pushed me, and it's amazing to get to follow in his steps," Kroll said.
Before coming to East in 2014, Fries taught math at Lincoln High and chaired the school's math department.
Fries' wife, Jessie Fries, the former principal at Lefler Middle School, also took a promotion last month to become director of secondary education, which oversees LPS' middle and high schools. Because of the potential conflict of interest, Casey Fries will be supervised by another administrator, said associate superintendent Matt Larson, although he added the district is still working those details out.
The latest batch of hires means LPS has filled all of its open principal positions.
