Mission Statement
School Faculty & Staff Update
Dear St. John Families,
I hope this newsletter finds you enjoying your summer break! It is with great pleasure that I announce the hiring of new faculty members who will join our St. John family next school year.
Mrs. Erin Burris will serve as our music teacher. She will share time between SJN and St. Philip Neri Catholic School in Midwest City. Mrs. Burris is a recent graduate who just completed her student teaching in Norman Public Schools.
Mr. Joshua Owen has accepted the middle school Science/Social Studies and Drexel House Dean position. He is coming to us from Edmond Public Schools. Mr. Owen also carries certification in Physical Education, and he has served as an assistant football coach at Bishop McGuinness Catholic High School for the past three years.
Mrs. Jilynn Parkhurst will serve as our Kindergarten teacher. Mrs. Parkhurst completed her field experience as a student teacher in December 2016 and then served as a long-term substitute for Mustang Public Schools through the end of this past school year.
These talented new teachers look forward to becoming part of our community and working with our students. We are delighted to welcome them to St. John Nepomuk!
We are still actively seeking a candidate in our upper elementary for our 5th Grade homeroom teacher. When the vacancy in 4th grade occurred this spring, it was a great opportunity for our 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Amanda Guilbeaux, to bring her teaching skills and nurturing ways to our 4th grade classroom. We are grateful to Mrs. Guilbeaux for her work in 5th grade and are exited and eager for her to move across the hallway to begin a new adventure in 4th grade!
Please pray for our new staff members as they join our community. I would appreciate your continued prayers in seeking the best candidate to serve as our 5th grade homeroom teacher. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely Yours in Christ,
Natalie Johnson
Principal
