Principal Greg John
Greg brings more than two and a half decades of service in public education to his work in leadership discovery and development. He has served as principal in three Bay Area schools, most recently as Principal for Starr King Elementary School. In this leadership position, Greg has worked to shape and sustain a team charged with designing, aligning, and implementing a focused effort to close the achievement gap and improve academic performance for every child. As Principal for Treasure Island School in the SFUSD he worked closely with the central office to transition the school as part of the district’s Dream School Initiative.

In 1997, Greg brought his experience as a classroom teacher and a reform coordinator to the Bay Area School Reform Collaborative where he served as Director of the School to Career Initiative. He worked with numerous high schools, district offices, foundations, and county offices to implement innovative reform plans.
