The Oregon Conference of Seventh-day Adventists welcomes John Winslow as the incoming principal for Milo Adventist Academy!

Winslow will fill the principal's chair starting this coming school year, as current principal Randy Thornton will be stepping away at the end of this school year. Coming from the Alaska Conference where he has served as Education Superintendent, Youth & Young Adult Director, and Pathfinder Director, Winslow 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 Milo.

“We are excited to welcome John Winslow as the new principal of Milo Adventist Academy,” said Ron Jacaban, Oregon Conference VP 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 Milo Adventist Academy,” said 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.”
