Diahanna ShaferAdvancement Director / Family and Alumni Relations
Diahanna has been a member of our St. Paul School Family for 43 years. Her mother (Virginia White Rybka) attended school here as did her older and younger brothers, Shawn and Jason.

Diahanna and her husband, Matthew, have two daughters, Olivia and Sophia, who attended St. Paul School as well. They join a long blood line of White Family members who have walked these same halls! She is also a lifelong parishioner of St. Paul Church where she is a member of the Christian Mothers.

Diahanna holds a BS in Marketing and Management from West Liberty State College. Diahanna began her St. Paul School career 10 years ago when she took on the position of PTO President. Seven years ago, she began working in the Advancement Department where she added the title Family and Alumni Relations to her list of jobs! In 2023, she was named Advancement Director.

Since joining the St. Paul staff, she has created many events and programs for our families to participate in and create memories. Ties and Tiaras Daughter Dance, Leading Lady Mother/Son, Family Light Up Night, Back to School Bash, and our “Pay It Forward” Community program are just a few examples of the memory makers available here at St. Paul School.

Diahanna believes that great things can happen at St. Paul School, and that they always begin with YOU!
