SJPDS is thrilled to welcome Steve Springer as our new Head of School! Mr. Springer comes to St. John’s with a wealth of experience and knowledge and is looking forward to stepping into this incredible community. Check out his Welcome Letter to our community:

Dear Friends,

Welcome to St. John’s Parish Day School! Whether you are just getting to know us or have long been part of this community, I’m so glad you’re here.

St. John’s is a school deeply rooted in the Episcopal tradition, and that foundation shapes our daily life together in ways that are both timeless and timely. We uphold our mission by honoring the dignity of every human being and seek to build a just and loving community. We welcome families of all faiths, backgrounds, and experiences. Here, children learn not only to ask thoughtful questions, but also to listen deepl

y, engage respectfully, and act compassionately.

At St. John’s, academic excellence and joyful learning go hand in hand. Our talented and caring faculty bring best practices in early childhood and elementary education into every classroom. Through a dynamic curriculum, hands-on learning, and a deep commitment to social-

emotional growth, we foster the spark in every child and help them develop into confident learners, creative problem-solvers, and kind, capable people.

Our campus is a place of light, laughter, and learning—where children explore nature, develop lifelong friendships, and discover who they are and who they are becoming. It’s a place where faith, learning, and love come together in meaningful and lasting ways.

As you explore our website, I hope you catch a glimpse of what makes this school so special. Of course, the best way to understand St. John’s is to experience it in person. I invite you to visit, meet our teachers, see our students in action, and feel the warmth of this remarkable community.

It is an incredible honor to serve as Head of School at a place where childhood is celebrated, curiosity is nurtured, and each child is truly known. From our youngest three-year-olds to our rising fifth graders, our students are at the heart of everything we do. I am grateful every day to be part of this school and to walk alongside our families, faculty, and students in the important and joyful work of elementary education.

St. John’s is about shaping hearts, nurturing character, and fostering the spark in each child.

With gratitude,

Steve Springer

Head of School
