The Lake Washington School District (LWSD) loses one of its finest administrators at the end of this school year. Brad Stolz, the principal at Benjamin Rush Elementary School, has been the most highly respected administrator in the LWSD over the past 25 years. Stolz has served children and families as the principal at Sandburg, McAuliffe and Rockwell elementary schools in addition to Ben Rush. He has supported principals as the Director Of Elementary Education and Stolz has overseen the district’s athletic program for the past few years. Stolz has been admired by everyone who has had the good fortune to work with him as he is honest, honorable, kind and caring while being a strong advocate for the LWSD. Stolz will be missed by many, but his legacy will impact the district in significant ways for years to come.
