Hello, Siegrist Families and Community!
I’m Johna-Kaye Sutton, and I’m honored to serve as the principal of Siegrist Elementary in the Platte County R-3 School District. Growing up in a family of educators in central Missouri, I carry on a proud legacy of dedication to the field of education. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to take on a variety of roles—classroom teacher, instructional coach, district coordinator, and even Board of Education member—each of which has shaped my leadership style and commitment to student success.
I truly believe that working in education is the most rewarding job in the world. I’m passionate about the power of teamwork and the amazing outcomes we can create together for our students and community. As a proud Pirate, I absolutely love being part of Siegrist. It’s such a special place where students, staff, and families come together to support one another, and I’m proud to be part of a community that values making everyone feel seen, valued, and heard.
The northland has been my family's home for over 30 years. My husband (Chad), our two sons (Jett, Lake), and I are deeply rooted in the northland. My goal is to create a thriving environment at Siegrist where every student can succeed and where our educators are continually inspired to achieve new levels of excellence. I’m excited to work alongside you as we continue to make Siegrist the special place it is for our students.
Go Pirates!
Mrs. Johna-Kaye Sutton
