Welcome to the Zion St. John website! I am Jared Kirkeby, the principal at Zion St. John Lutheran School. It is my belief that all children deserve a quality education and have access to all learning opportunities. At ZSJ we have high expectations in the classroom and around the school. We are a community of learners that promote academic excellence. We provide a safe, welcoming, and Christian environment for our students.
We know there are many options when it comes to choosing a school for your children. This can be an overwhelming and intimidating experience. We want to answer any questions you have, as well as, explain why we feel a Christian education meets the needs of the whole child.
We are excited to announce the plans for our new building addition that will add six new classrooms to our

Out of all my school-years I can confidently say that my most influential years were spent at Zion St. John in Paullina. The nurture I received in both academics and Christianity has stuck with me to this day.
