Alumnus named Head of School at New Life Academy
Cade Lambert, a 2000 graduate with a degree in Early Education, was recently named Head of School at New Life Academy in Woodbury, Minn. An enthusiastic supporter of Christian education, Lambert was drawn to the role “because New Life is positioned uniquely to have major impact on Christian education,” he said.
As an educator, Lambert is passionate about helping students find their calling. “When you buy into the belief that God has a calling for your life and realize education is more than just about making money—when you have a calling, it is just unbelievable what God can do with that,” he said.
