We are saddened by the tragic news from Chuuk that Acting Director of Education, Mr. Noah Ruben, tragically passed away last night apparently from a heart attack. Formerly the Principal of Berea Christian School, Mr. Ruben had been serving as the Deputy Director of Education since April 2010. He was appointed to serve as Acting Director of Education on December 9, 2014 by the Chuuk Board of Education (CBOE) when the CBOE fired the Director, Mrs. Gardenia Aisek Macayaon. Though Mr. Ruben had not been well after suffering a stroke last year, he has tirelessly served as Deputy Director under Macayaon. He truly was the steady heart and soul of the Department of Education during these turbulent times of political strives between the Chuuk Board of Education and the Department of Education. Chuuk will truly miss this hero.
Thank you, sir, for your patience, faith, and your love for the children of Chuuk. We will miss your leadership.
