Mr. Rickard is the father of Elura and Sam Rickard. They are in seventh and twelfth grade, respectively. He religiously attends their soccer matches and cross country meets. He heckles his son about finding college scholarships and doing senior year right. He takes his role as a parent seriously, just like his new job helping the students as the assistant principal.
“I want them to know that I have their best interest at all times. I look at them like they are my own children,” Rickard said. “And if something is not good enough for my kids, it is not good enough for them.”
Rickard is the new assistant principal for students with the last names beginning with A-G. This is Rickard’s ninth year as an education administrator. He was a principal at Dover for three years and for one year in the Delmar school district in Delaware. His other four years in administration were in assistant principal positions. With experience in both principal and assistant principal roles, Rickard is ready to transition back into the school year.

This article shows news judgment and news style writing. The replacement of a principal is newsworthy because it has proximity and timeliness. Also, with my style of writing, it also has human interest since it delves into the real life of an administrator.
