Spartan Nation,
As we begin another exciting year of athletics at St. Johns Country Day School, I want to thank you for your continued support and commitment to our programs. Our vision is clear: to provide “The Best Student-Athlete Experience, Building Lifelong Champions.” Everything we do—from preseason training to postseason recognition—is rooted in that purpose. We are proud to be part of a school community where excellence in academics and athletics go hand in hand.
Since 1953, St. Johns has been a place where tradition meets progress. We are proud of our school’s long-standing commitment to excellence, and we continue to build on the strong foundation laid by those who came before us. Our athletic program honors this legacy by combining the best of our past with the innovation, energy, and vision needed to prepare today’s students for tomorrow’s challenges. As Spartans, we celebrate our history while striving every day to raise the standard.
A major part of our success comes from the outstanding group of coaches leading our programs. At St. Johns Country Day, we are proud to have some of the best coaches in the state of Florida—educators who are passionate about their sport, committed to character development, and relentless in their support of our student-athletes. Our coaches go beyond the scoreboard, building meaningful relationships and mentoring students to become leaders in the classroom, in competition, and in life.
Our mission guides our work: “St. Johns Country Day School Athletics is committed to providing the best student-athlete experience by building lifelong champions through our SPARTANS character core values. We will relentlessly work to enhance the lives of our student-athletes through positive coaching, strong leadership, and unwavering support on and off the field.” This mission is more than words—it’s a promise to our student-athletes, families, coaches, and school community that we will lead with character, consistency, and care.
Thank you for trusting us with your children. It is a privilege to serve as your Director of Athletics, and I look forward to seeing our student-athletes thrive this year. Let’s continue to build something great together—because at St. Johns, we don’t just play to win, we play to grow, lead, and become champions for life.
See you at a game real soon!
