LIZTON — There's a new principal at Tri-West High School, the Hendricks County School thrown into turmoil last year when a now former teacher and coach faced child seduction allegations.
Matt Rund is the new principal. He's a veteran educator who spent the last three years as an assistant principal at Indianapolis North Central High School.
Rund replaces former principal Adam Benner who resigned last June. In January, Benner was charged with failing to report allegations of child abuse and neglect involving football coach and teacher Tyler Bruce.

The problems at Tri-West were the subject of a lengthy investigation by WRTV. The school board's handing of he matter drew sharp criticism from many parents.
