My name is Emily Gruninger, and I am beginning my fifth year as the principal of Lake Highlands Elementary. I just completed my 15th year of educational experience, all in RISD. Prior to becoming the principal at LHE, I served as a classroom teacher, instructional specialist, and assistant principal. I graduated from Texas A&M, and I so thrilled to be serving in the Lake Highlands community! I am looking forward to working with the LHE staff, parents, and community members to ensure that each student experiences growth this school year.
