Meet Ramah Junior Academy's New Principal

Sheridan Brown Albert Sheridan Brown Albert is a native of Macon, Georgia who grew up in Bethany Seventh-day Adventist Church (formerly the Spring Street Tabernacle Seventh-day Adventist Church). Sheridan was a 1970 honor graduate of Ballard-Hudson High School. She entered Oakwood College that fall, graduating with honors in 1974 with a degree in Mathematics and Physics. She continued her studies at Oklahoma State University in Industrial Engineering. Sheridan holds several professional certificates and endorsements having matriculated at following colleges and universities Washington University (Saint Louis, Missouri), University of Georgia (Athens), Holy Names College (Oakland, California), Pacific Union College (Angwin, California) and LaSierra University (Riverside, California).

For almost ten years Sheridan embarked upon various careers trying to escape God's call on her life. She entered the world of work as a cartographer for the U.S. Government Department of Defense, then joined an engineering team at the Western Electric Company and Bell Labs (both subsidiaries of AT&T) whose chief responsibility was to design an electronic switching system we now know as call waiting. From there, she even became a public school mathematics teacher. Finally, in 1982, Sheridan Brown accepted the call and entered denominational services as an Instructor of Mathematics at Oakwood College. While at Oakwood, Sheridan was responsible for the conception, development and implementation of the Mathematics Resource Lab, design as a tutorial support for students. In 1985, the Lord said to move to sunny California where she served for 18 years at Golden Gate Academy (a Senior Academy) in the capacities of math and science teacher, vice-principal and principal. In July 2003, Sheridan Albert accepted a call to the South Atlantic Conference of Seventh-day Adventists as the eighth principal of the Bethany Christian Academy in Macon, Georgia.

While living in California, Sheridan met (in 1991) and married (in 1994) her best friend and the love of her life, Gregory DeWitt Albert, who was born in Berkeley, California. The Albert's have been married for 14 years. They have a blended family of four adult daughters, two sons-in-law-Nichole Albert Little (Chris), Cheri Monique Albert, Vila-Sheree Germany Watson (Paul) and LaGina Merci Albert, eight grand children - Christopher II, Malcolm, Nicholas, Malik, Julia, Joshua (in memoriam), Chauncey and Jordan, and one great grand child-Christopher III.
