Patricia Blix, who has been appointed as interim principal of Mercer Island High School, effective Nov. 4, will meet with high school parents on Nov. 17 at 9:30 a.m., during a PTSA coffee in the library presentation room.

Blix, a retired education administrator, was appointed by superintendent Gary Plano. Former  principal John Harrison took a job with Bellevue Schools.

Blix was an interim principal at West Mercer Elementary from 2006 until 2008. Many of the freshmen and sophomore students at MIHS, and parents, already know Blix from her leadership at West Mercer.
