Head of School
Welcome!
I am proud our community is a caring one. Children learn best in a structured environment and thrive when they feel safe--and Mayfield provides both.
We expect our students to reach for their potential and encourage them to lead. I am inspired by our school motto of "Actions Not Words." Collectively, members of our community not only embrace but live it every day.
Founded in 1931, Mayfield Junior School shares in the mission of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus "to help others to believe that God lives and acts in them and in our world, and to rejoice in the divine presence." We foster a learning climate based on the trust and reverence for the dignity and uniqueness of each person.
Please enjoy exploring our website as it provides an introduction to who we are, but I invite you to visit MJS to experience our school community firsthand. The favorite part of my day is watching our students, faculty, and staff in action. I am confident you will agree too!
