I’m honored to be a part of the Julie Billiart Schools community as your new principal of our Brecksville campus. After starting my JB career at Akron in 2018 as an Intervention Specialist and serving as Assistant Principal and Director of Special Education at Akron, I am deeply committed to carrying forward the mission and values that make Julie Billiart Schools so special. Our school is a place where every child is known, supported, and celebrated for their unique gifts.
In Brecksville’s launch year, I was the Assistant Principal and Director of Special Education, which allowed me to get to know our amazing students and families and now as we venture into a new school year, I am so excited to welcome everyone back including our new families as we get to be a part of a year of tremendous growth here at JB Brecksville.
I am so grateful for the support from our administration, community partners and most importantly, our families as we begin our second year as a part of the JB Network. From our renovated building to our new playground and our first Begindergarten class, there is much to be excited about.
Thank you,
Alyssa Buzas, M.Ed.
Principal, JB Brecksville
Alyssa Buzas earned her undergraduate degree in Early Childhood Intervention at Ashland University and completed her masters in Educational Leadership at John Carroll. Prior to JB, she taught first grade at St. Edward's in Ashland and spent a year at Laurel Elementary in Fort Collins, Colo. as an Early Childhood Intervention Specialist. She currently lives in Cuyahoga Falls with her husband, Michael, their newborn daughter Cedar and their two dogs, Abby and Baker.
"As we begin a new school year at JBB, I am eager to continue building upon our strong and positive school culture—one rooted in love, acceptance, and belonging. I look forward to partnering with our dedicated teachers and staff, who are integral to each student’s journey. It is a true privilege to witness the growth of every student—academically, socially, and emotionally—as we work together to promote a nurturing, supportive, and individualized educational experience."

All of the teachers and staff at JB are patient and willing to take the extra time to make sure we, as parents, understand and are comfortable.
JB Parent
They have all the resources necessary, specialized to the individual learning of each child, and the heart that goes with it. I don't think we would have stayed in Ohio if it wasn't for JB!
JB Parent
My kids love everything about JB and look forward to going to school every day and seeing their friends and teachers. JB is truly a one of a kind school enriching young lives everyday.
JB Parent
I don’t think I will ever be able to put into words how grateful I am that you saw my daughter for all that she is today and all that she is yet to become.

Julie Billiart Schools gave us hope after our daughter was diagnosed with a learning disability. At JB, she thrived in the small classes, received necessary therapies, and developed the self-confidence to ask for help when she needed it.
