Our Staff
Rhiannon Stitley (Director)
My name is Rhiannon Stitley, and I am a mom to three amazing kids! I graduated with a B.A. in Psychology with a focus of child psychology and minored in Organizational Leadership. My husband and I sent our oldest son to Good Shepherd and have always loved the school and staff. After being a stay-at-home mom, running a summer camp out of my house, and many community service projects, I was ready to step back into the workforce. I have been at Good Shepherd for over 2 years now as the director and absolutely love being apart of this incredible school.
