Deborah Hendrickson, most recently vice principal and registrar at Columbia Adventist Academy (CAA) in Battle Ground, Wash., is the new North Pacific Union Conference (NPUC) certification registrar. She replaces Paulette Jackson, who is retiring after 38 years of service in Adventist education. Jackson served for more than two years at the NPUC and previously as teacher, school administrator and conference superintendent.
With her own exceptional background of 31 years in Adventist educational leadership, Hendrickson will take over the responsibility of maintaining denominational certification records for all NPUC educators. A 1982 graduate of Loma Linda University, she holds a master's in curriculum and instruction. Before coming to CAA in 1997, her educational service included work in California at Monterey Bay Academy, Rio Lindo Adventist Academy and Pacific Union College.
