Meet the Principal

Dear John Still Parents, Students, and Community Members,

It is my pleasure to serve you as the Principal of John Still TK-8 School. I am a graduate of Sacramento City Unified Schools and grew up here in Sacramento. I lived in the Meadowview community for several years while my daughter was young and have devoted my career to K-8 education. Throughout my 20+ years with SCUSD, I’ve taught primary, intermediate, and middle school classes, giving me a unique look at the experiences our staff and students face daily. I have served John Still as both teacher or administrator since 2016, supporting high-quality instruction, enrichment and intervention, and social-emotional learning. 

I wholeheartedly believe that communication and teamwork will be pivotal to the success of our school. It is vital that we keep the lines of communication open between school and home, and to collectively support one another to the benefit of our students. I anticipate the continued growth of many of our academic, athletic, and artistic programs, which will rely heavily on our communication and collaboration, and I look welcome your questions and input. 

As principal, I hope to continue to serve in a capacity that helps make John Still a safe school with high expectations of its students, innovative programs that engage students in life-long learning, open lines of communication, and a wide variety of community outreach. I am excited to be teaming with you all.  

Go Tigers!

Joanna Evans
