I am Joy Spradling and I am so excited and thankful to be returning home to Heirway Christian Academy! I feel so blessed to have been part of Heirway and serve administration, faculty and staff, and Heirway Christian Academy families from 1998 to 2021. My husband, Michael Spradling and I were married for 37 years, and he passed away on June 30, 2021. The Lord blessed us with two children, Joe and Lesley. They both attended and graduated from Heirway Christian Academy. Our beautiful daughter Lesley, went to be with the Lord on January 6, 2021, after a 3 year battle with cancer. I have two beautiful and strong granddaughters, Maddie and Lilly Coppola. My heart was broken when I was unable to return for the 2021-2022 school year, but thankful for the much needed time to start processing and healing from the loss. I am grateful for the opportunity to return to the office and where the Lord placed me to serve others. I love my Heirway family! Thank you so much for your support and prayers for my family.
