About our School Director, Tiffany Jureczki

An elephant at school, packing 400 lunches for underprivileged children, taking pictures in a jail cell, arranging for the Pastor to parachute from a helicopter into the church parking lot…LET’S DO IT!  Life is an adventure; school is an adventure!  For the last 20 years, our fearless leader has dedicated her life to the spiritual upbringing of Boerne’s children and their academic education.  With God’s help and guidance, she brings an extraordinary sense of adventure to St. John Lutheran School.

Upper Elementary Teacher

Pack your backpack because Ms. Lisa’s on an educational adventure! Patience and persistence over 30 years have allowed her to do it all; multi-age classrooms, “aha!” moments, overcome challenges, treacherous hikes, and more. She couldn’t have done it without God’s unbounding love and that’s what your student will experience on their adventure with her as the chief!

Lara Johndrow

Lower Elementary Teacher

Watch out for the tornado of letters, sounds, blends, and phonemes as you enter Ms. Lara’s reading room! Every child CAN read, and Ms. Lara’s been helping students unlock the mystery of reading for 12 years. The best book for beginning readers is the Bible where she encourages students to experience the adventure of their own budding faith in Christ.

If you go home dirty, it was a good day in Pre-K! While Ms. Melanie’s favorite color is glitter, Mud Day is her favorite day.

Don’t get caught as the children’s art canvas as you walk into Ms. Rose’s room!  For over 20 years she has been encouraging art creations from mixing shaving cream & glue to using your toes as paint brushes, and everything in between.  Bible stories come alive when Ms. Rose dresses like Biblical characters.  Our youngest students are embraced in compassion every moment they are in Ms. Rose’s care.
