“My dad coached basketball here for 29 years, and his picture is in the library.  I coached with him for a few years and then took over when he retired. It was this experience that encouraged me to enter the field of education.  My grandmother and her 5 children (my mother and her siblings) attended this school. I am so humbled to be back home and look forward to working with all of the spectacular families and staff at St. John’s.  Some things never change--they just get better!”
