Hello

A letter from our principal

Having the opportunity to enrich the lives of the children at our school has been an amazing adventure, for both myself and the students. My goal is to give them every opportunity to grow in a safe and Christ based environment, seek out their superpower and enhance their skills so they will have the best chance to create an amazing life. Our motto is enter to learn, leave to serve. We believe in giving back and the kind and generous attitude of our staff, fosters this in our students. Come join us at St. John Central Academy to experience "Excellence in Education". - Dr. John Rose
