KVCS to see change in administrator position

Kootenai Valley Christian School will

see a changing of the guard at the end of this academic year.

Myresa Boulware, who has been involved

with the school since its opening 15 years ago, will step aside as

administrator.

Chris Wolfe, who has served as

administrator for the past five years for Wasilla Lake Christian

School in Alaska, will take over the position.

“I really want to continue to be a help

and support for the school, wherever needed,” Boulware said. “I am

very excited about what great opportunities and growth a new

administrator will bring to this very special school.”

Boulware was among a small group of

people in 1994 that shared a vision to start an interdenominational

Christian school in Libby. In September 1996, the school became a

reality with 30 students taught by three teachers in grades

K-4.

The school began in the building that

now houses Windjammer Cable’s office near the City of Libby

wastewater treatment plant. More space was soon needed for an

expanding enrollment and a second building was constructed. Classes

were even held for a time in an old bunkhouse loaned to the school

by the late Herb Neils.

Grades were added, including a

preschool, and more space was needed. In August 2003, the school

moved into the old St. John Lutheran Church building. An expansion

project a few years ago brought the school to its current size.

“She has brought this school so far

along and I hope for our sake she will avail herself for special

projects and perhaps at some point join me on the board,” KVCS

board member Tom Gentry said about Boulware.

Wolfe led the Wasilla school through

continuous growth, which included the accreditation process.

Wolfe will be the third administrator

in the school’s history.

Wolfe, an avid outdoorsman, and his

wife, Janell, have seven children – five still at home. The couple

is expecting a child in August and has one grandchild.
