This is Mr. Dave Kehne’s  5th year  as Linganore’s principal. His job is to encourage high performance and to make sure the rules are being carried out correctly by all the students and staff. More than anyone else, he is in charge of Lancer spirit.

He has done a lot of work with teaching and being a principal at other schools, including Walkersville High School principal, Urbana English teacher, and Linganore Assistant Principal.

He is always focusing on how students can respect each other more and stopping bullying.

“We can’t control others but we can control how we respond to others,” he said. “We want our school to have a warm and inviting environment.”

He also focuses on the student’s daily concerns, understanding rules and how to follow them.

He is a student right now, working on getting a PhD degree in educational leadership. He likes to spend time at home, working on his garden. His favorite getaway location is the beach.
