We’re excited to announce that, beginning August 4, Dr. Stephanie Shedrow will join GRACE Schools as the Executive Director of Learning!

In the position, Dr. Shedrow will guide and support principals in strengthening instructional practices and supporting leadership at the school level. She will also oversee the ongoing development and alignment of the GRACE curriculum team, ensuring it maintains high academic rigor and addresses the diverse needs of students as we navigate forward. Additionally, she will lead initiatives focused on improving teacher training through expanding professional development opportunities, and enhancing student achievement across the entire GRACE system.

“I’ve spent many years in teacher preparation, but I missed working directly with teachers and students,” Dr. Shedrow shares, “This opportunity with GRACE brings me back to what I love in building relationships within schools and supporting educators in real time. I’m excited to help strengthen learning at every level.”

A Green Bay native, Dr. Shedrow attended CCD at St. Philip School and was confirmed at St. Bernard Parish. Her professional background includes instructional coaching, curriculum development, and working with students with learning gaps, all experiences that have deepened her commitment to literacy instruction and shaped her collaborative leadership style. She deeply values her connection to the area and its faith community.

Please join us in warmly welcoming Dr. Shedrow to GRACE as we look forward to this new chapter of academic leadership and continued excellence in Catholic education.

GRACE Schools (Green Bay Area Catholic Education) is thrilled to announce that Mr. Eric Schreiber has been appointed as the new Headmaster of St. John Paul II Classical School and Chesterton Academy of St. John Paul II Classical School in Green Bay, Wisconsin!

Mr. Schreiber brings a wealth of experience in Catholic classical education, most recently serving as Headmaster at Divine Mercy Academy in Belgrade, Montana. He is currently completing his Ph.D. in Theology and Leadership from St. Thomas University in Miami, where his research focuses on building Catholic classical schools. With a strong foundation in theology, school leadership, and student formation, Mr. Schreiber has served in numerous impactful roles including Dean of Upper School, theology teacher, and athletic director. His leadership is grounded in the Catholic faith and a commitment to excellence in education.

GRACE President, Kimberly A. Desotell indicates, “It is with great joy and gratitude to God, we welcome Mr. Eric Schreiber as the new Headmaster of St. John Paul II Classical School. Mr. Schreiber is a leader whose deep faith, unwavering integrity, and commitment to Catholic education will guide our community into a future rooted in Christ’s truth and love. We are blessed to have his expertise as we support him to lead with wisdom and a servant’s heart.”

Mr. Schreiber reflected on what this opportunity means to him, “Catholic education was never intended to function in isolation but is understood as part of a divinely ordained triad – the family, the Church, and the school – working in harmonious concert to educate the human person in truth and virtue. The opportunity to serve as Headmaster of John Paul II and Chesterton Academy Classical School will allow me to be immersed in a community that truly desires to educate the whole person – mind, body and spirit. My wife, Lindsey, and I are blessed to be given such an opportunity.”

Mr. Schreiber will begin his new position as Headmaster on July 7, 2025. He will be moving to the Green Bay area with his wife, Lindsey, and their new puppy. Please join us in warmly welcoming Mr. Schreiber to our school family as we look ahead to an exciting new chapter for St. John Paul II and Chesterton Academy of St. John Paul II Classical School.
