Principal/Mission
Welcome to Christa McAuliffe Elementary, home of the Astronauts!
I am truly honored to get to serve at a school known for its rich academic achievement, its strong sense of belonging for all students, and for being a cornerstone of the community it serves.
We believe in the potential of each individual student, and want to help every child achieve their personal goals. Our vision for our students is they can, “be good, be nice, work hard, be humble, and reach for the stars!”
The teachers and staff at Christa McAuliffe Elementary are truly top-notch educators who are passionate about student success, and are compassionate, trusted adults who are there for our students every day. They believe every student can achieve at a high level, and care about all of the students here. As principal, it is my promise to you that our school will always make sure students are learning, safe, and feel like they are a valued and important part of our community – because they are!
This will be my thirteenth year in education, and my tenth in Shawnee Mission. I have taught fourth, fifth, and sixth grade, worked as an instructional coach, an administrative intern, and now as principal of this amazing school. I truly feel blessed to be at CME, and will work hard to ensure this school remains a great place to learn, to work, and is a bedrock of the community. Let’s make 24-25 a fantastic year, Astronauts! 3…2…1…blast off!
