Meet Finance & Business Director Monica Johnson

Sioux Falls Lutheran School is pleased to welcome Mrs. Monica Johnson to the Sioux Falls Lutheran School family! She joined our team last spring as our finance and business director.

Mrs. Johnson brings a wealth of experience in finance, accounting, human resources, and operational leadership, having served in both corporate and private sectors. A graduate of Metropolitan State University in Minneapolis with a degree in Business Management, she is also a QuickBooks ProAdvisor with proficiency in a wide range of financial software tools. Her robust expertise in financial analysis, policy development, human resources, and multi-entity management will be a valuable asset to our mission of developing capable Christian servant-leaders. We are confident that her integrity, attention to detail, and collaborative leadership style will help steward our school’s resources with wisdom and excellence.

Mrs. Johnson is also a proud SFLS alum who grew up in Sioux Falls. She and her husband, Ben, are the parents of two current SFLS preschoolers. She is thrilled to return to her SFLS roots and serve our community in new and meaningful ways.
