A welcome from the Principal
“It is a joy to greet you
as the incoming Principal of FLEC.”
My family and I are grateful to already be part of this community — two of our children attend FLEC, and we have experienced its warmth and strong sense of belonging.
Over the past 25 years, I have served in Adventist education as a teacher, chaplain, principal, and most recently Associate Superintendent. Each role has strengthened my commitment to partner with families to nurture students who love Jesus, love learning, and are prepared for a life in service to Him.
“Whether returning or exploring FLEC for the first time, I invite you to visit, tour, and come say hi. Let’s go through this journey together.”
