One more year for interim principal at Tacoma’s Lowell Elementary

Bob Duke will return to Lowell Elementary School as interim principal this fall as Tacoma Public Schools continues its search for a permanent leader at Lowell, the school district announced today.

Duke, a retired principal, stepped in last school year on an interim basis at Lowell during the illness and following the death of former Principal Bob Dahl. Dahl died last spring after a 15-year tenure as principal of Lowell. At the time, he was the longest serving principal at a single Tacoma school and many in the school community mourned his passing.
