JCDS welcomes new Head of School
Jacksonville Country Day School (JCDS) has welcomed Christopher Johnson as its new head of school beginning with the 2023-24 school year.
Johnson officially stepped into the role on July 1. He succeeds former Head of School Pat Walker, who had held the position since 2014 and has been in the JCDS community for nearly 30 years.
“I am indeed a fortunate person to have been able to work at a place I’ve felt connected to since my first time on campus in the spring of 1994,” Walker said. “I’ve loved this school as a happy parent, as a teaching assistant in 3rd grade, as a teacher in 1st grade, and as the Admissions Director. To cap that off with the great honor of being asked to be the Head of School, and serving in that capacity for nine years was a dream come true.”
Johnson joins the San Marco community from Miami, where he completed the 2022-23 school year as Scheck Hillel Community School’s head of upper school. He has been on the JCDS campus since July to prepare for the coming school year and also looks forward to having his own daughter attend the school as well.
“Being both a leader in the JCDS community and a parent provides me with a unique dual perspective and further fuels my commitment to our school’s success” said Johnson.
