The Maplewood Academy Board of Trustees is pleased to announce that Stacy Stocks has accepted their invitation to become the new principal effective July 1.
Stocks has been at MWA for the past three years serving as English teacher and most recently as development and recruitment director. She comes with a strong background in Adventist education, having been a girl’s dean and college dean of women. She also served on the Board of Education for the Indiana Conference. We are excited about the vision and passion she brings to this position.
Outgoing principal Justin Okimi served extremely well for the last three years, displaying effective leadership during the time the conference was developing distance learning program sites. Mr. Okimi leaves with the blessings of the Minnesota Conference and our best wishes as he and his wife, Shelly, explore new opportunities.
