A long-time member of the staff and administration at Pella Christian High School is leaving at the end of the academic year. Earlier this winter, Dan Van Kooten announced he is resigning his post as principal. Van Kooten says Pella Christian High School faces several opportunities for growth and challenges associated with those, and he felt like he was no longer suited to help solve some of those issues moving forward. Van Kooten has been with Pella Christian for 23 years as a counselor and now principal, and he’s been excited to see how far the high school has come during that time. The schools will soon announce a succession plan as it relates to the future of the private institution’s administration going forward.
