On Tuesday, during the Gainesville City Schools Board of Education meeting, LaCrisia Larkin was named as the permanent principal of Gainesville High School. Last April, Larkin was named interim principal after Chris Mance, the school’s principal at the time, passed away. Larkin, who has walked the halls of Gainesville High since 1982, said the school’s open-door policy is something that makes the campus strong and she hopes for it to continue.
