Dear Academy parents,
As you know, Principal Fay Fisher is retiring as our preschool and grammar school principal after having served the Academy staff, students, and families with unwavering dedication since 2016. Mrs. Fisher has worked tirelessly to advocate for, encourage, and support the Academy community, and we are so thankful for who she is and what she has provided to our school. As you are able, please join us in thanking Mrs. Fisher for her exceptional leadership.
We have been in prayerful consideration as a school board on how to fill this crucial leadership position. We understand the integral role the individual in this position has in serving our preschool and grammar students, staff, and parents, and in helping set course for the Academy’s immediate future. To that end, our board has intentionally sought an interim preschool and grammar school principal for the 2023-24 school year.
We are excited to announce that Mrs. Sarah Bierle, who is currently serving as the Academy’s Curriculum Director and Registrar, will serve as the interim preschool and grammar school principal for the upcoming school year. Mrs. Sarah Bierle brings not only administrative expertise and passion for our vision to provide excellent classical Christian education, but she has developed a love for our students and the entire Academy community that has proven invaluable in this role. We look forward to working with Mrs. Bierle to fulfill the Academy’s mission. We will continue to pursue a long-term candidate as the Spirit leads.
Thank you for the privilege of serving you, but more importantly, the privilege to serve our Lord and Savior as we endeavor to glorify Him through the education of His children.
In His Service,
Abiding Savior Academy School Board
