Principal/Mission

Diemer Community, 

Welcome to John Diemer Elementary.  Diemer is a wonderful place for students to grow academically, socially, and emotionally.  Driven by committed educators and surrounded by a supportive community our school seeks to set up each student for their future success while providing them with a healthy, engaging environment today. 

I am humbled to lead our strong team of educators.  I have been in education for 16 years, in administration for the last 6 years.  My wife and I are proud residents of the Shawnee Mission community and our three kids are all students in the district. 

The mission of John Diemer Elementary, in partnership with families and the community, is to empower students through a challenging, dynamic learning environment in order to develop intellectual and social-emotional skills. 

Together we will guide our students to be lifelong learners.  I look forward to connecting with you face-to-face and please don’t hesitate to reach out for any reason.
