St. Michael School

We would like to recognize our Principal Mr. Andrew Arn for excelling at making St. Michael School such a successful and positive learning environment. Mr. Arn begins and ends each day with the entire school.  He has overcome many challenges and obstacles with determination, drive and his conviction of faith.  Since Mr. Arn has been principal we have added six additional classrooms to accommodate the increase in student enrollment. He has acquired numerous grants to benefit our students and building. He has taken two huge fundraisers and made them the best St. Michael School has ever  seen.  He has taken our SMS level of education to the highest standard to compete with  surrounding schools and Catholic School counterparts.   Mr. Arn is also involved in the community at large, attending any and all meetings for the future development of Ripley. His latest endeavor to benefit SMS and families is, he has taken his CDL class ,and has passed all four components of the written test, and is in the process of driving hours to complete his CDL to accommodate out of districts students. Mr. Arn's vision for the future of St. Michael School is unmatched.  With the the team of staff, students, families and community, along with the fundamentals and fantastic faith, SMS is and will always be top-notch with the guidance of Mr. Arn. Mr. Arn resides in Ripley with his wife Ashton, and their five daughters.
