A Message from our Interim Principal
Dear Lime Kiln Community,
My name is Anne Swartz. I am pleased to share that I will be serving as the new Interim Principal at Lime Kiln Middle School. I look forward to continuing the strong work of previous Interim Principal, Dr. Genee Varlack, and our wonderful Assistant Principal, Mrs. Carol Ketterman. I am a recently retired principal of the Howard County Public School System (HCPSS). I served HCPSS for 32 years as a classroom teacher, mathematics support teacher, and school administrator at both the elementary and middle school levels. Most recently, I served as principal at Wilde Lake Middle School.
I look forward to joining the Lime Kiln Community and working with the LKMS administrative and instructional teams to ensure that school operations continue to run smoothly during Mrs. Lublin’s absence. I had the opportunity to meet the LKMS staff yesterday. Their warmth, caring, and commitment during this unique school year is evident. I can already tell that LKMS is a vibrant learning community. I am committed to supporting the staff, students, and community as we continue navigating and enhancing the virtual instructional model.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions. My email address is anne_swartz@hcpss.org.
Sincerely,
Anne Swartz
Interim Principal
