Faculty & Staff Bios Meet our Faculty and Staff The faculty of Saint John’s Prep inspire, mentor, and guide students throughout their academic journey. In the classroom, our teachers encourage students to develop critical thinking skills, challenge them with complex problems and foster their communication skills. Our small class sizes mean teachers have time to work individually with students to support and mentor them with their studies. 81% of Saint John’s Prep faculty hold at least one Master’s Degree Faculty & Staff Directory Administration & Staff Jon McGee Head of School Aaron Miller Vice President of Advancement Dr. Christine Glomski, Ed.D.
