In this episode, Mavis Poore and Abiela Parker talk to LCHS principal Billy Kirk about his new ambitions and the legacy of winning and excellence he has established at Lumpkin County High School. Mr. Kirk commissioned The Principal's Podcast three years ago because he wanted Lumpkin County students and staff to tell their own stories. We are happy and honored to finally hear Mr. Kirk tell his own inspiring story.
