Rebecca Winkie, the principal of Princess Nahi’ena’ena Elementary School, has been named complex area superintendent for the Hana-Lahainaluna-Lanai-Molokai Complex Area.
The state Board of Education approved the appointment of Winkie on Wednesday to replace longtime educator and current Complex Area Superintendent Lindsay Ball, who will retire on June 30 after 13 years in the position.
Often referred to as the Canoe Complex, the area includes 11 schools spanning three islands.
“Nothing could make me more proud or excited than the opportunity to represent and advocate for the four unique communities of the Canoe Complex,” Winkie said in a news release Wednesday.
