Employee of the Year

  • Each year, the Christina School District honors outstanding educators and employees through the Teachers and Employee Champions of the Year awards. After a rigorous selection process, each school building selects a Teacher of the Year, who then competes for the prestigious title of District Teacher of the Year. Additionally, the district recognizes Employee Champions of the Year from each classified employee group, with the winner going on to compete for the District Educational Support Professional of the Year. Here, we proudly showcase our past winners, celebrating their dedication and commitment to educational excellence.

    Amanda cares about every part of a child’s growth. She focuses not just on helping kids do well in school—something she does very well—but also on helping children who don’t speak English as their first language feel welcome in their new community. By supporting both their learning and their sense of belonging, Amanda helps our students grow into confident adults who can make a positive difference in their communities. Thank you for your dedication and congratulations, Amanda!
