Pelt has served as an assistant principal at Argyle Middle School since 2022 and was recently appointed Assistant Principal at the new Scott Gibson Middle School. He brings a decade of experience at AMS and is a dynamic instructional leader with a strong record of fostering high-performing, student-centered campus culture focused on academic excellence and student success.

Pelt replaces Dona Lumsden, who has been appointed the new Argyle High School Principal.

“We are excited to welcome Mr. Pelt as the new principal of AMS,” Argyle ISD Superintendent Dr. Courtney Carpenter said. “He has a strong history of excellence in Argyle ISD as both a teacher and assistant principal and has a deep understanding of our culture, expectations, and commitment to student success.”

Pelt’s professional growth and journey in public education is a full-circle story in AISD, having served as a student teacher at AMS before becoming a full-time teacher in 2016, then Assistant Principal. He brings that perspective into this new role, focusing on supporting teachers, helping students grow, and continuing Argyle ISD's strong tradition of excellence.

“I am deeply grateful and honored to have the opportunity to serve as the next principal of Argyle Middle School,” Pelt said. “Having been part of the AMS family for the past 10 years, I have developed a deep appreciation for the relationships and tradition of excellence that define this campus. I look forward to continuing to support our students and staff, partnering with families, and serving this outstanding community as we work together to help every learner thrive.”

We are so excited for Mrs. Lumsden as she continues making a positive impact on the Argyle community. Her leadership at AMS has been invaluable and we wish her the best as Principal of Argyle High School!

Throughout her tenure, she has built strong relationships with students, staff, and families while helping lead high-performing campuses and fostering cultures of excellence.

Lumsden replaces Shannon Knowles, who was approved as the new Principal of Flower Mound High School this evening by the Lewisville ISD School Board.

“Mrs. Lumsden has an unwavering commitment to students, staff, and our families,” Argyle ISD Superintendent Dr. Courtney Carpenter said. “Her passion and joy in her leadership style are inspiring, and we are excited about the future of AHS under her leadership. We also want to express our gratitude to Mrs. Knowles for her time at AHS and wish her all the best and continued success in her new position.”

Prior to joining Argyle ISD, Lumsden spent 14 years in Lake Dallas ISD, where she served as a mathematics teacher, math department head, academic advisor, lead counseling department advisor, and Assistant Principal at Lake Dallas High School. She was recognized as the Lake Dallas ISD Secondary Teacher of the Year during the 2009-2010 school year.

Lumsden now embarks on her new journey in AISD and embraces the opportunity to lead one of the most successful high schools in the state.

"Being chosen to serve as principal of Argyle High School is an honor," said Lumsden, who has eight years of leadership experience in AISD. "I am deeply grateful for the experiences and relationships I have had across Argyle ISD with students, staff, and families who have made my journey so special. I look forward to continuing that work in this new role as we build on the strong tradition of excellence at Argyle High School."

There has been some confusion as to which version of Swiss Family Robinson students should read this summer. The link below is the Illustrated version (305 pages). It is available on Amazon, but you may purchase it from any bookseller. If your student has already started reading a different version, or you have missed your return window on a different book, they may continue with the book they have.
