Mrs. Kristine Shiraki

M.Ed. in International Education Policy, Harvard Graduate School of Education. California Multiple Subjects Teaching Credential, University of California, Los Angeles. B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Religion, Pepperdine University. Kristine taught middle school (2005-2009), led nonprofit, education policy, and leadership development organizations across the country, and joined the Donum Dei team in 2024 after becoming involved with the school in 2023.

Growing up in a Christian home, I began truly walking with the Lord and studying His Word during college, where God clearly called me to view education as ministry. Throughout my career in teaching, educational leadership, and ministry, I have been passionate about helping others discover how God has uniquely gifted them to serve His Kingdom. Donum Dei captured my heart because it forms students to know who they are in Christ while cultivating their minds, hearts, and character for God's glory. As both an educator and a parent of two Donum Dei students, I am grateful to partner with families in raising children who will faithfully serve Christ in our city and around the world. Outside of school, I enjoy traveling with my family, hiking, snorkeling, reading, crafting, and discovering new places.

"After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb." - Revelation 7:9
