DULUTH — A longtime principal is set to head north.
Gina Kleive, principal at Ordean East Middle School, was hired to be the assistant principal at Two Harbors High School, which is a part of the Lake Superior School District about 27 miles north of Duluth.
“I am looking forward to getting to know the Two Harbors community, families and students as the new assistant principal of Two Harbors High School,” Kleive said in a news release from Duluth Public Schools on Tuesday.
Lake Superior School District Superintendent Jay Belcastro said the high school will benefit greatly from Kleive’s experience and leadership. Duluth Superintendent John Magas said she’ll be greatly missed.
School board members of the Lake Superior district approved Kleive's employment contract Tuesday. Her last day at Ordean is Aug. 26, according to Duluth district staff.
