Meet Our Staff

Since 1979 Santiam Christian Schools have been blessed by teachers who daily walk into their classrooms ready to lead our students in prayer and biblical wisdom. Whenever you walk into one of these teacher’s rooms you’ll be greeted immediately with someone who is enthusiastic about their craft, about the children who are in front of them, and about the content they are teaching. They are truly spectacular people.
