Welcome to Christa McAuliffe School
Principal's Message
It is hard to believe that we are half way through the school year. We are beginning a new semester! This gives us an opportunity for a fresh start, to change some habits that aren’t working and develop better habits that will impact our learning. It is important for our students to realize that: Education and learning are important to each of us; we continue to learn throughout our lifetime - this is what life is all about; the McAuliffe community is a learning community. As our entryway states: “Through these doors walk the best students in the world.” more
