Houston ISD has announced a new principal for Pin Oak Middle School. Susan Monaghan will take the helm at Pin Oak. Monaghan is a veteran administrator within HISD working as principal at Lovett Elementary School and Assistant Principal at West University Elementary. She takes over as principal of Pin Oak from Michael McDonough, who the district tapped to be principal at Westside High School in February. As we are pleased and excited to welcome Ms. Monaghan, we are sad to say goodbye to Interim Principal Amy Simson who will be stepping in as principal at Lovett Elementary. We have been so fortunate to have Ms. Simson as interim Principal. We owe her our gratitude and wish her all the best. More information will be sent to parents from the District.
