In a letter to Lake Forest staff, students, and parents, Conway wrote he is honored and excited for the opportunity to be part of the Spartan tradition of excellence.
"I deeply believe in a quality and comprehensive education for all students. Lake Forest is known not only for its academic excellence and extracurricular programs, but also for the positive and healthy relationships between staff and students," Conway wrote. "I take very seriously that you have entrusted the young people of this community to our care and expect our fine staff to give their best day in and day out."
