Paul Goffron - Principal

My family and I currently live in Lombard and have been members of St. John’s Lutheran Church for over ten years. My wife Dawn and I have been married for 14 years and have four amazing boys: Bryce, Shane, Crewe, and Jhett. Our schedules are very busy with swimming lessons and baseball games, and spending time together as a family. In my free time, I enjoy running, drinking coffee, and spending too much time studying the weather.

I am a graduate of Valparaiso University, where I earned my bachelor's degree (Psychology & Spanish minor) and my Master of Education through their LEAPs program. I graduated with my Master of School Leadership degree from Concordia University Chicago in 2012.

I have served as a teacher and school administrator in Lutheran schools within the Northern Illinois District for 17 years. I began teaching at Jehovah Lutheran School in Chicago. I also have taught at Walther Lutheran Academy in Forest Park. Later I moved into an administrative position at Walther Christian Academy, as well as principal for three years at Cross Lutheran in Yorkville, IL.

I'm very grateful and excited to have the opportunity to serve the St. Peter community.
