CHARLES CITY, Iowa – Thomas Harskamp has been named the new Executive Director of Student Engagement and Leadership for Charles City Community Schools.
The job replaces the position of activity director for the school district and Harskamp’s appointment is pending school board approval. I m nervously excited about the challenge ahead, says Harskamp. We have great members of the Charles City Community Schools family who do a lot of outstanding things for students. We want to unify our mission and vision of the school in our activities, and our motto moving forward will be to build better people, and there are many ways we can do this.
