Principals Welcome

Welcome to Summerland Christian College.

After 17 years of calling this community home, it is a deep privilege to now serve as Principal. I love this College. I love its heart for young people. And more than anything, I love seeing students grow in confidence, character and faith as they discover the unique purpose God has placed on their lives.

Our mission is clear: we exist to build hope-filled futures—to develop kingdom-minded citizens who live to serve their communities and walk humbly with their God (Micah 6:8).

This mission is not new. It was planted 48 years ago when the College was established, and it continues to shape who we are becoming. Like any vibrant, faith-filled community, this journey is always unfolding—growing, stretching, and refining us as we work towards our shared goal. Part of my role in this season is to lead us in reflecting on our practices and culture, ensuring that we remain deeply rooted in the vision entrusted to us from the beginning.

At Summerland, students are not just supported—they are known and deeply valued. We are committed to creating a learning environment that nurtures the whole person: mind, heart and spirit. We want our students to pursue academic excellence, yes—but also to become young people of compassion, resilience, and integrity.

As a team, our staff walk alongside students and families, helping each child discover who they are in Christ and how they can live lives that bless others. We don’t just want students to succeed—we want them to become.

My hope as Principal is to continue shaping a College culture that reflects the kindness, strength, and humility of Jesus. We are not a perfect school, but we are a purposeful one—and we remain anchored in the belief that God is at work in every student’s story.

Thanks for stopping by our website. I encourage you to come and visit us in person—you’ll quickly see why this is such a special place.
