Our History
Stayton
Private School, as it was formerly called, was born out of the concern of two
couples, Sanford and Elizabeth Cox and Francis and Doris Forrette.
In 1978 they incorporated and began a kindergarten located at the Church of Christ in the fellowship hall with a
plan to add first grade the following year. Soon thereafter another couple, Eugene
and Karen Rose, became instrumental in carrying out the functions of the
school. Mr. Rose served on the board and Mrs. Rose was the school's first
principal.
In 1981, two classrooms downstairs were added on and renovations began on the
second floor to accommodate additional grades. Until 1995 all the classrooms
had two grades except
kindergarten. In 1994, the school committed itself to split the grades into
single grade classrooms and changed the name to Stayton Christian
School. In 1996, grades
6, 7 and 8 were moved to Foothills
Church on Fern Ridge.
In 1997, a four-year-old preschool was added and the fifth grade class moved
to the middle school.
The mission of Stayton Christian
School
is to inspire, build, and equip students
to
glorify God in all they do.
