The Charles City School District is losing a member of its leadership team.
In a Facebook post, the Waterloo Community School District says Thomas Harskamp has been named Principal of Hoover Middle School, pending approval by the Waterloo Schools Board of Directors. Harskamp is currently Executive Director of Student Engagement and Leadership in the Charles City Community School District (CCCSD).
In the social media post, Harskamp said, “I am so excited for the opportunity to lead Hoover Middle School and be a part of the Waterloo Family. My 21 years in education, with 17 of those serving in Omaha Public Schools and four in Charles City, have prepared me to lead and serve the students and staff at Hoover. Thank you, Waterloo Schools and Hoover Middle School for trusting me to lead such a dynamic school.”
Dr. Jared Smith, incoming Waterloo Schools superintendent, said, “We are excited to add Tom to our administrative team. Tom impressed us with his extensive middle school experience, as well as his enthusiasm for working in the Waterloo Schools.”
Prior to his present position, Harskamp served as Co-Principal and Associate Principal at Charles City Middle School.
