Cassie Smith, a 10-year educator in the Humboldt Community School District, will be the new middle school principal.

Jim Murray, Humboldt School Superintendent, made the announcement last week. Smith’s hiring is expected to be approved by the board of education in their upcoming meeting.

“I’m super excited for the opportunity. It was not something I had envisioned for our family at this particular time, but when the opportunity came up and Mr. Murray approached me about it and I talked it over with my husband, it felt like right now is a good time to jump in knowing we love being in this district and knowing the staff and students at the middle school are going to be great to work with,” Smith said.

“I’m so excited that the school board and the community has provided this opportunity because a position like this doesn’t come open very often,” Smith said.

Heinz poised to challenge in Iowa secondary


JAMISON HEINZ

By Phil Monson

Working construction over the summer, at times Humboldt’s Jamison Heinz was a one-man wrecking crew.

The 2020 Humboldt High School graduate hopes to do just that on the field for the University of Iowa football team this season as he enters his third year with the Hawkeyes. The six-foot, 210-pounder moved from free safety to cornerback over the past year and is looking to earn a position on special teams as well as work his way up the depth chart on a stout Hawkeye defensive unit expected to be one of the nation’s top defenses again this fall.

“I worked construction for a guy this summer in Iowa City. We just finished putting in some windows the other day. I was also jack hammering a wall. It had been hot on those days as well, like it was all summer,” Heinz said. “It was just him and myself working on these projects, but I enjoyed doing it.”
