Lake Park, IA (KICD)– Harris Lake Park’s former Superintendent returns to that position in a part-time situation next week. Gary Richardson served as a teacher, high school principal, and Superintendent at HLP before moving to Superintendent in Orange City where he retired. Since then, he’s worked for Northwest College and served in interim positions including Emmetsburg.

Richardson was superintendent when the bond issue for a new high school passed, and job number one when he returns is to guide the campaign for a new elementary building.

In retirment, Richardson can be choosey which jobs he takes, and says HLP appeals to him because of the district’s commitment to student achievement.
