Director of Middle School
With JGS since 2017
Now the Middle School Director, the very beloved Kris Shen has held many roles throughout his 8 years at The Jones-Gordon School. When he initially joined JGS, Mr. Kris was a critical member of the Wellness Team while he concurrently served as the Athletic Director – roles that combined his passion for sports with his love for seeing students’ self-esteem develop along with their social skills thriving while being part of a team. Kris graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in education from Grand Canyon University and continued that path by earning a Master of Education Degree in Educational Leadership, also from GCU. Eventually, after years of hard work alongside school leadership, Kris rose to his current role as the Middle School Director where he works closely with teachers, parents, and students alike. Outside of school, Kris enjoys spending time with his son Gavin (a JGS student), exploring new vacation spots with family, and playing sports such as golf and basketball in his free time.
