Welcome to Forest Lake Education Center
It is a joy to greet you as the incoming Principal of Forest Lake Education Center. My family and I are grateful to already be part of this community—two of our children attend FLEC, and we have experienced its warmth and strong sense of belonging.
Â
Over the past 25 years, I have served in Adventist education as a teacher, chaplain, principal, and, most recently, Associate Superintendent. Each role has strengthened my commitment to partner with families to nurture students who love Jesus, love learning, and are prepared for a life in service to Him.
Â
Whether returning or exploring FLEC for the first time, I invite you to visit, tour, and come say hi. Let’s go through this journey together.

Stephen Herr,
Principal

Our sixth-grade students engage in an immersive learning experience, creating scenarios that violate the Code of Hammurabi and subsequently preparing cases to present to their peers. Following presentations, the class collectively applies Hammurabi's Code to propose judgments, with Judge Johnson ultimately delivering the final verdict.
