TESTIMONIALS

  • I always say this and I will continue to do so, I had Mrs. Christopher in what I call the best generation! For a teacher we always hear “ they are great teachers” “ teachers are number 1” Mrs. Christopher was truly the best teacher, she kept us in line but did so with love. Here I am 32 years old and can remember Mrs. Christopher like I was still in her classroom. For a teacher to have such an impact on her students that they will never forget is truly a Remarkable achievement. One can only dream to be as inspiring as Mrs. Christopher!!!

  • I was never a fast learner and I moved a lot as a kid. This caused me to rebel in some of my academics because I was having a heard time being a preteen and having to move schools and friends often. Mrs. Chris would alway take the time to thoroughly explain everything to me so I felt confident in the material, but more importantly myself. She has reached out to me in the last 10 years and genuinely cares about my well being and is always cheering me on. She will always be one of my role models, because she truly cares about what she does and who she has an impact on.

  • Whenever I doubted myself, she always reminded me that anything is possible. During a tough transition into middle school, my science teacher always brightened my days. I have kept a great relationship with my once teacher, & she has become a lifetime mentor and someone I look up to.

    She is naturally a mentor. She’s devoted & determined to accomplish what she sets her mind to.

  • Mrs. Chris was such an inspiration for me at such a young age. I always looked up to her not only in 6th grade but through the rest of my time at Mullen and many years following. She was always there for me when I was having a rough day and always had such a positive outlook on things.
