Maplewood has hired a new principal for the 2012-2013 school year. In November, Marshall Bowers announced that this would be his last year serving as our principal. While looking for a replacement, the MWA Search Committee met and was very impressed with Justin Okimi, and they offered him the job this January. Justin, and his wife Shelli, currently live in Smyrna, Georgia where Justin works as the principal of Atlanta Adventist Academy. Both Justin and Sehlli attended boarding academies and have a heart for the mission of boarding schools. Because Justin has experience with Distance Learning through his work at AAA, he will be able to aid in the integration fot his new technology at Maplewood Academy. Justin has an M.B.A. from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and graduated with a B.A. in Math, as well as a B.A. in English from Union College. Besides working as a principal, Justin has also been employed as a corporate trainer and consultant in the Adventist Health System, an assistant camp director, and as an assistant chaplain at Union College. Justin has a passion for Jesus and for our young people. We are excited to have Justin and Shelli on our campus this next year.
