Oregon Conference welcomes John Winslow, incoming Milo Adventist Academy principal. Winslow is filling the principal's chair starting this summer, as Randy Thornton, current MAA principal, stepped away at the end of the 2025–2026 school year.
Winslow comes to MAA from Alaska Conference, where he served as youth and young adult director, education superintendent and Pathfinder director. He is an experienced leader, serving over the years as a teacher, academy principal and district pastor. His track record in fundraising and financial planning, multicultural education and renovation projects will be a blessing to the continued ministry at MAA.
“We are excited to welcome John Winslow as the new principal of MAA” said Ron Jacaban, Oregon Conference vice president for education. “His extensive experience in boarding school environments, combined with his background in pastoral ministry, positions him uniquely to lead with both educational excellence and spiritual depth. We look forward to the Christ-centered leadership he will bring to campus, fostering a strong sense of community, discipleship and purpose among students and staff.”
“We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to Randy Thornton for his years of dedicated service to MAA,” continued Jacaban. “His unwavering commitment to Adventist education and his genuine care for students have left a lasting impact on the school community. We are thankful for his leadership, his passion and the legacy he leaves behind.”
