Shindana Crawford

Ms. Crawford comes to St. John the Evangelist in Silver Spring, MD from Don Bosco Cristo Rey High School in Takoma Park, where she served as Assistant Principal for Student Life. Before her time there, Ms. Crawford was with Holy Redeemer School in College Park from 2015-2021. While at Holy Redeemer, Ms. Crawford was the music and technology teacher before becoming Vice Principal. She also holds an associates degree from Schenectady County Community College. A bachelor's degree from Berklee College of Music in Boston. In addition, her master of education degree comes from Loyola University Maryland and she holds Maryland State Department of Education administration certification. 

When asked why she wanted to serve our church as principal of a Catholic school Ms. Crawford stated, “I was baptized into the Catholic faith. I felt so strongly about the importance of leading by example, I chose to do it with students and staff present in our Catholic School. To share my love for Jesus and belief in the power of education at the same time is the perfect working scenario. Ultimately, my goal is to be an agent of meaningful positive growth and change in the lives of teachers and students. It will be an ongoing effort the duration of my career as an educator. Holding on to a strong belief in faith, I look forward to continuing to serve the St. John the Evangelist community.
