Staff Members of the Week

This week, we are excited to spotlight brothers Rich and John Shapazian, two dedicated educators and lacrosse coaches who bring energy, humor, and heart to our school community.

Rich Shapazian is known for his enthusiasm and boundless energy, both in the classroom and on the field. Students often describe him as kind and genuine, noting that his care for them is always sincere. Outside of school, Rich has recently taken on his most important role yet—proud father to his baby son, Rocco, who is already his biggest fan.

John “Johnny” Shapazian is equally beloved by students, who describe him as “chill, awesome, and funny.” His ability to connect with students while maintaining high expectations has earned him a reputation as a truly great teacher. Whether he’s coaching lacrosse or leading a lesson, Johnny’s sense of humor and calm demeanor make him a standout member of our staff. Fun fact: Johnny is allergic to aloe, so he has to be extra careful in the sun—especially during those long days on the lacrosse field! Johnny’s favorite food is crab legs, his dream vacation destination is Italy, and he especially loves the fall season.

Together, the Shapazian brothers bring teamwork, dedication, and positivity to our school, making a lasting impact on students both academically and athletically.
