From the Principal

Together Toward a Bright Future

I am honored and excited to serve as the new Principal of St. Sava Academy. From the moment I was introduced to this community, I was drawn to its strong foundation of faith, culture, and academic excellence.

My passion lies in building uplifting school communities where students feel supported, families are valued partners, and staff are empowered. At the heart of my leadership is connection—genuine relationships that foster growth, trust, and a shared sense of purpose.

I believe that a great school feels like a second home—where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to grow in both knowledge and character. I am thrilled to be part of a school that nurtures both the minds and hearts of its students.

I look forward to working together to ensure a joyful, meaningful, and inspiring school year for all.
