Hello Summer!

Later, he returned in January 2006, serving as the principal at Pilot Station. After rejoining LYSD in July 2017 as the Director of Human Resources, he assumed the role of Chief of Operations from July 2018 to June 2020. Since July 2020, Gene has been serving as the Superintendent. We take great pride in recognizing Mr. Stone for his dedicated service to LYSD. Moreover, we are thrilled to celebrate his achievements as he receives two prestigious awards. First, Superintendent Stone has been named Alaskan of the Week by Senator Sullivan.
