In the spring of 2007, Robert Giesler, the longest serving principal of the Law Magnet, announced that he was retiring. While the school board tried to find a permanent principal,Lucy Livingston, served as the intern dean at the school. In March 2008, Mr. Anthony Palagonia, was appointed as the Law Magnet Principal. Mr. Palagonia had been Assistant Principal at Richardson High School and had been associated with the Richardson Law Magnet in various capacities for 20 years. In addition to bringing his experience in magnet schools, Mr. Palagonia brings his experience as a former practicing attorney and city court judge.

These include, but are not limited to: SkillsUSA (also known as VICA), Lincoln-Douglas Debate, Policy Debate, Mock Trial, Close Up, T.A.F.E., One Act Play and Destination ImagiNation.
Notable alumni have attended respectable institutions of higher education such as: Brown University, Hampshire College, MIT, UPenn, Georgetown, Smith, Stanford, University of Chicago, Notre Dame, Wellesley, SMU, and Texas A&M to only name a few. In the past two years, the class valedictorian has attended an Ivy League school -- Yale and Cornell.
Several alumni of the school have gone on to become lawyers and members of the law enforcement profession. One alumnus has even run for U.S. Congress.
The school has recently established a foundation known as the Friends of the Law Magnet. Its purpose is to raise funds to support existing programs and fund other opportunities for Law Magnet students.
