Starr’s Mill is proud to welcome John Steiner after he spent the last two years at McIntosh High School.

Among other things, Steiner says one of his favorite parts of being at Starr’s Mill is being around his two children, freshman Catherine Steiner and sophomore Nicholas Steiner.

“So far I have enjoyed the teachers and students who have welcomed me to the Mill,” Steiner said.

Steiner emphasizes the importance of building relationships and rapport with the students. He stresses the importance of work ethic, study habits, time management, prioritizing assignments, and balancing extracurricular activities.

I think this is effective because developing relationships and rapport helps build trust with the students and helps with classroom management,” Steiner said. “It helps the students understand that I am here to help them be successful, and I am not out to get them.”

In his free time, Steiner enjoys spending time with family, watching sports, reading, and traveling.
