Principal Gwendolyn Barjon to Transition into New Role for School

Gwendolyn Barjon has been a part of the St. Philip’s School and Community Center family for well over two decades. She has been a parent (of three outstanding alumni), a volunteer, an esteemed member of our faculty as master Science Teacher, and served as principal for the last seven years. In the coming year, she will transition into a critical exciting, new role with the organization. She will utilize much of the 2015 – 2016 on sabbatical, engaging in research, development and program design in preparation for her return as Director of Innovation for the School that will

provide a keen focus on teaching and learning at St. Philip’s, particularly in Science and Math. We are grateful for the tremendous impact Mrs. Barjon has made on the St. Philip’s ministry, especially as it relates to the School. In partnership with UTD, she has helped develop a unique science curriculum over the last two decades. Currently, over 30% of St. Philip’s alumni study or work in Science related fields, such as medicine and engineering. We attribute this to the solid foundation they received at St. Philip’s.

We look forward to our future – knowing that with Barjon’s brilliant leadership in this new role, GREAT THINGS LIE AHEAD for St. Philip’s School and Community Center!
