HEADMASTER'S MESSAGE

Celebrating 178 Years of Community

The first day of classes ever at St. Johnsbury Academy happened on December 13th, in the year 1842. So on Monday, we celebrated the Academy’s 178th Birthday in distanced style, with cookies baked by Chef Paula Bystrzycki and her students in Culinary Arts (individually wrapped and brought to students in the morning), and with an Academy history quiz put together by faculty members Denise Scavitto and Liz Laverty.
