Our People

Our mission to form Christian leaders who will transform society starts with the people on our team. We fervently believe that students deserve the best teachers, that great educators truly change lives, and that a school is its people.

Our faculty and staff are our most precious resource.  Besides holding impressive credentials - many of whom hold advanced degrees - these are the people who help our students discover their unique, God-given talents and abilities. They are guided daily by our Catholic school’s core values of Charity, Humility, Excellence, and Mission.  And, they view their purpose, as members of the Pinecrest team, as a vocation. Our team is here to serve our families and one another.
