Indian Hills Elementary School Principal's Corner

Welcome to Indian Hills Elementary – Home of the Chiefs!

My name is Sara Johnson, and it is truly an honor to serve as the principal of Indian Hills Elementary. Now in my fifth year, my focus remains steadfast: supporting our students, staff, families, and community as we work together to build the strongest school culture in the district.

I am proud to be born and raised in Christian County. I graduated from Murray State University with a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education, completed my Master’s in Teacher Leadership at Western Kentucky University, and earned my Rank I in Administration from Murray State. I am currently working toward my Superintendent Endorsement through Western Kentucky University as I continue to grow as a leader and advocate for our district.

I began my teaching career at Sinking Fork Elementary, where I taught 4th and 5th grade Social Studies and ELA before serving three years as Curriculum Specialist. I later had the privilege of working at the Central Office, overseeing our Department of Defense Grants and district intervention programs.

Indian Hills is known for its positive learning environment and high levels of student achievement, and I am committed to continuing and strengthening this tradition. Each day, we focus on our Guidelines for Success: Cooperative, Honest, Involved, Enthusiastic, Fair, and Safe. We believe that when students consistently demonstrate these traits, they thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our goal is simple: for every person who walks through our doors to feel welcomed, loved, and valued. We are excited to partner with you and look forward to an incredible school year together.

Please know that my door is always open. You can reach me at 270-887-7230 or sara.johnson@christian.kyschools.us.
