Board updates

Spring 2011

In mid-February, I passed along the news that our current school President, Mark Dunn, was stepping down at the end of this school year, and that the Board had initiated a search process to replace him.  Over the past several weeks that process has unfolded and the Board was continually impressed by the highly qualified candidates we met and interviewed.  Praise God for these godly individuals that have committed their lives to Christian education, and for their sincere interest in leading HCA into a promising future.  We praise God as well for bringing us the person we firmly believe is the right individual for the President position at Heritage Christian Academy – Rick Lukianuk.  Rick will officially start at HCA on July 1, and will be working with Mark and the Board in the interim to ensure he gets quickly and effectively engaged. 

 

Rick is currently serving as the Head of School for Christian Heritage Academy in Northfield, Illinois.  He has served in that role since 2005.  Prior to that, he was the high school principal for five years at Portsmouth Christian Academy in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.  In each of those roles, Rick demonstrated his ability to lead those schools in the areas we considered key to the future of HCA:  biblical integration, strategic planning, staff development, academic excellence, and fundraising.  The attached biography provides much more insight into Rick’s background, including his education at Duke University, his initial career as a successful international lawyer, and his passion for musical composition. 

 

We are thrilled to have Rick join HCA, and we are immensely thankful for God’s abundant provision of such a qualified leader.  Please keep Rick and his wife Lee Ann in your prayers as they make the transition from Chicago to Kansas City.  Likewise, please also keep Mark Dunn and his family in your prayers as they return to Colorado, and do take a moment to thank him for the hard work and creativity he brought to HCA this past year. 

In Christ,
Ben Vos
Heritage Christian Christian Academy Board Chair
