SPIRIT of the FOx - steve bjork

YIS is a special place because, as Principal, Steve Bjork creates a culture of collaboration and trust. Steve encourages risk-taking, and pushes his staff to do their best. He forges connections with students for years to come, being invited to multiple high school and college graduations.

From dressing up on spirit days, creating scavenger hunts, making funny videos, and organizing outside events, Steve makes working at YIS fun. Bjorkville wouldn’t be the same without Steve. He has recruited, coached, taught, led & helped countless staff and students.  Under his watch, we have made lifelong friendships, met partners and found our purposes..

Yorkville is truly better because of Steve Bjork’s teamwork, excellence, and culture of fun! I am glad I had the opportunity to learn from him over the years as he has undoubtedly made an impact on me as an educator and a professional.  I would not be the educator I am today if it was not for Steve’s leadership and encouragement.
