Our People

Great people — all sharing a common purpose.

Committed, Christian leadership is what has set Pacific Academy apart since it was first founded. Indeed, Ray Sutton, who was Headmaster from 1986-2005 established that philosophy early on and it's still very much ascribed to today by Dr. Colleen Drisner, Head of School as well as the entire staff, Board and Leadership Team.

Because we believe that to raise the very best Christian leaders of tomorrow, students need to be stewarded by the very best Christian leaders of today. And we've been blessed to be able to draw such a talented, committed staff of individuals here to Pacific Academy.

OUR TEAM: SCHOOL WIDE STAFF

All My Children...

Each school year, God has placed our children with caring, nurturing teachers. The strong, supportive partnership between the school and our home has been so beneficial to our children’s growth.
