Cahan named as new LSHS principal

Granite Falls High School Principal Eric Cahan has accepted the Lake Stevens High School Principal position effective July 1, 2011. After speaking to Principal Ken Collins, Cahan decided to apply for the open position.

“I’ve known Ken Collins for a long time and he and I spoke when the posting came up. Frankly, he really sold me on the building and the district,” Cahan said. “After meeting the people in the interviews, I thought it was a great fit and a natural change. I’m looking forward to creating new relationships with staff and kids and continuing with Ken’s energy. I think that is an exciting aspect as a principal,” Cahan said.

Cahan is a veteran administrator with five years experience as Principal of Granite Falls High School and prior to that, five years as an Assistant Principal at Snohomish High School. He was also the Athletic Director and an English teacher at Snohomish High School.
