From Leslie Turley, Secondary Principal
Hello and welcome to the 2009-2010 school year for the secondary department at Okinawa Christian School International. I am anticipating that God will do great things as we begin this, another school year.
We have much to be thankful for this school year. Among those things for which we give thanks is the opportunity to serve you and your children. To offer your son or daughter an excellent education in the spiritual, academic, physical and social areas is our calling and our desire.
“...But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” -Philippians 3:13-14
Thank you and welcome back!!
Blessings,
Leslie Turley
Secondary Principal
