St. Joseph Christian announces leadership change

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- The Board of Directors of St. Joseph Christian School (SJCS) announced a leadership transition set to take effect next school year.

Now under a Co-Superintendent model, SJCS will return to a single Superintendent model in the 2026-2027 school year.

Current Co-Superintendent and Secondary Principal, Danny Maggart, will step into the Superintendent role. A nationwide search will begin immediately for a new Secondary Principal to succeed Maggart.

Co-Superintendent and Elementary Principal, Rose Dunlap, will serve solely as the Elementary Principal.

Both Maggart and Dunlap have led SJCS through the challenges of COVID-19 and two building campaigns over the past seven years.

Until a candidate is identified to serve as a new Secondary Principal, the current leadership team will continue in their existing roles to ensure a smooth transition.

The shift aims to clarify roles, prevent leadership burnout and further support the school's mission: "To glorify Jesus Christ by equipping students to impact their world for Him."

"We are confident that this step will strengthen our ability to serve students and families well into the future," said the SJCS Board in a written press release.
