Cathy Carlock Lorenz (Lindbergh High School 1988) is a former LHS teacher and a current assistant principal at Parkway Central Middle School. She lives in Concord Village with her husband, Craig (LHS 1988), and her son, who is a junior at Lindbergh High School.

Alonzo, Lorenz and Watz said in their campaign announcement that they “have consistently advocated for all stakeholders in the Lindbergh community as board members. Prop R was passed by the highest approval rating for a bond issue in the history of the district, with safety and progress the most valued issues. Each school is receiving new updates. Another movement forward was the approval for free full-day kindergarten.”

 Alonzo, Lorenz and Watz stated in a joint news release, “We all feel strongly about building a future emphasizing positive student character and innovation in education that support critical thinking skills, creativity, and collaboration that are essential in today’s changing technology revolution.”
