Dr. Floyd Stensrud

Superintendent & Lead Director

Good Day Hawthorn Academy Eagles! My name is Floyd Stensrud, and I have been selected as your new Lead Director. I am very excited about this new venture and the prospect of getting to know each of you and being a part of your community and its academic journey.

Jeremy Craig

South Jordan Principal

My interest in teaching actually began after completing high school. In college, I discovered that some of my most enjoyable classes had less to do with the subjects themselves, and more to do with my professors' engaging teaching methods. I was fascinated by the talent they had to create meaningful connections with their students. This is my seventh year at Hawthorn. I am excited to be a part of this school's bright future in education.
