Mission Statement
Omaha Memorial Adventist School will provide a quality Christian education that incorporates Christian principles, and fosters a harmonious development of spiritual, physical, mental, and social abilities essential to producing a well-rounded character in each student.
Our Philosophy
The Omaha Memorial Adventist School is operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church to provide a spiritually oriented education for children. A belief in the existence of the Creator God is fundamental in the philosophy of Seventh-day Adventist schools. We respect His divine authority and recognize His intervention in human affairs. We believe that true education develops the spiritual, mental, and physical powers of each student; preparing them for the joy of service in this life and for the higher joy of service in the life to come. To achieve this goal, we encourage each student to:
- develop a personal relationship with God and his fellow men as stated in Matthew 2:37-39
- master the basic academic skills
- value labor, physical and mental, as the blessing God intended
- cultivate physical fitness, mental ability, and moral purity as the blessing God intended.
The Omaha Memorial Adventist School is operated in harmony with the guidance and direction of the Office of Education, North American Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Our Teachers
Kris Acson
Grades 6-8; Lead Teacher
I am excited to join the Omaha Memorial Adventist School family for the 2025-2026 school year. As a product of Adventist education, I have dedicated the past 14 years to teaching in Adventist schools across the Philippines, Macao, Hong Kong, and Canada. I am committed to continuing my service within our church education system, where I hope to contribute to our school programs and strengthen church outreach initiatives. Outside of my professional commitments, I enjoy outdoor activities, traveling, and photography. I look forward to collaborating with parents and church members to provide our students with a holistic education.
Cristina Flores
Grades 3-5
I am a first-year teacher at Omaha Memorial Adventist School. I am excited to have been allowed to teach grades 3rd - 5th this year. I graduated from Southwestern Adventist University with an Elementary Education degree. My goal is to share Jesus with these children and teach them how they can be successful in school and life if they depend on Him completely. In my spare time, I enjoy drawing, talking to my friends, and spending time with my dog, Piña.
Merick Durana
Grades K-2
By faith, I have responded to God's call to serve as a Kindergarten-Grade 2 teacher at Omaha Memorial Adventist School this year. My love for teaching inspired me to earn a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with a focus on Mathematics from Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College. To strengthen my faith, I also completed a Bible course at Central Philippine Adventist College. For 12 years, I shared God's love through education in the Philippines, and I eagerly anticipate a fruitful year at OMAS. On a personal note, I am married to Keren Durana and a father to Eliana Li Durana. In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball, volleyball, and learning to teach musical instruments.
