A familiar face in the Luxemburg-Casco community will lead the school district’s high school into the future. On Monday, the Luxemburg-Casco School District announced that Tyson Tlachac is taking the reins from retiring high school principal Troy Haws. Tlachac graduated from Luxemburg-Casco High School in 2003 before continuing his studies at UW-Milwaukee, where he received a bachelor’s degree in biology and life/environmental science and a master’s degree in administrative leadership and supervision. He has spent the last 17 years in education, which included being the principal at Tenor High School in Milwaukee and, most recently the, the athletic and activities director at Racine St. Catherine’s High School. Luxemburg-Casco School District Superintendent said that Tlachac had “a keen understanding of both the instructional leadership and building leadership needed to be the principal of a successful high school” and that his familiarity with the duties of being a principal and the area made him a good fit. Tlachac believes that culture, communication, collaboration, and accountability are keys to success in education. “I want the L-C community to know that they’re getting a genuine person who cares and who is going to do everything possible to provide the best experience and education for their child,” Tlachac says. “Coming in, I want to develop strong relationships with the students, parents, staff and community – get to know them well and let them know me.” Haws served as Luxemburg-High School Principal for seven and a half years before retiring this spring, concluding a 30-year relationship with the district and a 37-year career in education.
