At STARS Charter School, leadership is driven by a passion for public education and student success. Our team brings deep experience in curriculum development, charter school governance, and online learning innovation.
My name is Jonathan Seawell, and this will be my 13th year at STARS. My journey here began as a 2nd grade teacher, a role that allowed me to cultivate a strong foundation in early childhood education. I then transitioned to teaching 5th grade, where I further developed my teaching skills and connected with students on a deeper level. For the last five years, I have served as a specials teacher, focusing on technology and handling IT, while also taking on the responsibility of driving a bus. These diverse roles have given me a broad perspective on the educational needs and logistical challenges within our school community.
This year, I am excited to transition to the role of Assistant Principal for K-8. I look forward to applying my extensive experience and passion for education to this new leadership position, where I can support both teachers and students in achieving their best. On a personal note, I am also a proud parent of two children who attend STARS, one in 8th grade and the other in 5th grade. Being both an educator and a parent within this community gives me a unique insight and commitment to the success and well-being of our school.
