Principal's Corner

Dear Colonel Johnston Family,

It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you to Colonel Johnston Elementary School! I am truly honored to serve as your principal and to join a school community so deeply committed to the success of every child.

From the moment I arrived, I have been impressed by the passion and dedication of the staff at Colonel Johnston. Their focus on nurturing the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally—reflects a shared belief in the importance of the early elementary years. These foundational years are critical, and our staff understands just how impactful they can be in shaping lifelong learners.

We are committed to building strong partnerships with our families. Your involvement and support play a vital role in your child’s success. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. We also encourage you to join us for school events whenever possible—we want you to feel connected and engaged in your child’s educational journey.

As principal, my goal is to create a school environment where students thrive and feel valued. It takes a true team effort—parents, staff, and school leadership—to build a place where every child feels supported and inspired to grow.

Let’s make this a fantastic year together!

Go Johnston Jaguars! 🐾
Sincerely,
Christine Liesmann
Principal, Colonel Johnston Elementary School
