Johnson was an educator for 35 years, beginning in 1959, with the then Windsor Board of Education, serving as a teacher at Queen Victoria and at Taylor schools and as Vice Principal at Glenwood school. He returned to Queen Victoria as Principal, where he served for six years, before transferring, as Principal, to Forest Glade school. For the last twenty years of his career, he served the Board as Superintendent of Schools until his retirement in 1995.
