Meet Knapp Principal Jonai Maddrick
Meet Jonai Maddrick, principal at Knapp Charter Academy in Grand Rapids, MI! Principal Maddrick may have left Michigan after starting her educational foundation as a high school student in Detroit, but her heart never strayed far even while teaching in Ohio and Milwaukee. A transition into school administration even took her to Louisiana for nearly 10 years. But when the opportunity arose at Knapp, she knew it was time to come home.Meet the Principal
