Richardson will start her new job in January and said she’s “super excited to be back.”

“I was born in Prince George and raised in McBride and I worked in Mackenzie for 13 years so to come back feels like home.”

As for her vision moving forward?

“For a long time I’ve had a vision that in education I’d like to see all kids cross the stage with dignity, purpose, and hope. So, I feel coming home is a good place to be because it matches with my philosophy and my thoughts and what’s going on in School District 57 aligns with that.”
