Dear St. Sava Academy Families, Students, and Staff,
It is with great joy, gratitude, and excitement that I introduce myself as the new Principal of St. Sava Academy.
From the moment I first learned about St. Sava, I was immediately drawn to the deep sense of faith, community, and commitment to academic excellence that defines this school. Now, having officially joined the St. Sava family, I feel truly honored and blessed to be part of such a special community.
I have a deep passion for supporting students, partnering with families, and building uplifting school communities where everyone feels welcome, valued, and inspired. I am excited to bring that with me to St. Sava Academy!
At the heart of my leadership is connection. I believe that the strongest schools are built on genuine relationships among students, teachers, families, and the broader community. School is not just a place to learn; it should feel like a second home where each individual is celebrated, valued and deep friendships are born. As a first-generation American of Russian and Ukrainian heritage, I deeply value the role that tradition, culture, and faith play in shaping our lives and learning. I am so excited to be part of a school that not only offers academic rigor but also encourages students to explore and celebrate their unique identities.
To our amazing students, I cannot wait to meet you!! I am looking forward to seeing your talents shine, hearing your stories, and watching you grow in both knowledge and character!
To our dedicated staff, I am excited to partner with you, learn from you, and support the incredible work you do every day!
And to our wonderful families, thank you for welcoming me into this community. I am eager to get to know each of you and work hand in hand to ensure every student at St. Sava thrives!
Most of all, I am excited to learn and grow alongside you. I believe that learning is a lifelong journey, and I am grateful for the opportunity to walk that path together with such a thoughtful, faith-filled, and engaged community.
As we begin this new chapter together, please know that my door is always open. I am excited for this new school year, this new journey and all the incredible things we will accomplish together!
Here is to a joyful, meaningful, and inspiring school year ahead. I cannot wait to get started!
Thank you,
Anna Kirsanov
Principal, St. Sava Academy
