We Value People! At Good Shepherd, we believe in living our core values every single day. 💙✨ A massive THANK YOU to our unbelievable custodial and caretaking team: Miss Lorilei, Miss Danielle, and Mr. Richard! 🧹🧼 They work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our school sparkling clean, safe, and ready for everyone. Their hard work, care, and attention to detail do not go unnoticed. ✨

We are so grateful for everything you do to make our school community feel like home.

We Value People! Good Shepherd is so fortunate to have an amazing admin support team. Miss Patti, with her exceptional organization and great love for Good Shepherd, keeps all of us on track. Miss Sam, our new librarian, is quickly learning our Jag ways! Thank you both for all your hard work 💙💛

We are so excited to see you soon! The countdown to a brand-new school year is on, and we’re so excited to see our students and families back at Good Shepherd School!
