St. John's Lutheran School has been serving the Napa community since 1938 as a ministry of St. John's Lutheran Church, which was founded in 1907.

Currently, St. John's has an enrollment of 294 students in Preschool through 8th grade (65 in Preschool). The current Lead Pastor, Mike Schmid, has been at St. John's since 1998. Principal Christy Wood arrived at St. John's in 2020 and EC Director Joy Dahl began as Director in 2021. One of the unique aspects of St. John's is the number of teachers who are former students, including the Preschool Director, the Kindergarten Aide, the second grade teacher, the fifth grade teacher, and the sixth grade teacher.

St. John's is recognized by most people in the Napa Valley as the "school of choice" for families who want a quality private Christian education! May God bless the continued ministry of St. John's Lutheran School.

The deadline has been extended to Tuesday, April 30, 2024, to turn in your congregation’s statistics and lay leader updates. The information is submitted through LISN which is found here: https://lc.lcms.org/.

Please note: You will use the same login information that you used last year to register your presidential voters, not your login that you used for statistics in the past. If you have had challenges logging in this year with the new process, please contact Rosters, Statistics, and Research Services at Rosters.Statistics@lcms.org.
