About Mrs. Christian

This fall, I started my 35th year in the classroom, my 27th year in third grade. I graduated from East Central University in the summer of 1984 and began my teaching career four days later as an all-day kindergarten teacher.

After six years of teaching in my home town of Wetumka, I moved to Enid, then to Moore, and finally to Shawnee.

I had thought I would retire from Moore Public Schools, at some point. But then, life happened. I got married, after thinking I would never go down that road ever again. I commuted the full second semester from Shawnee. The drive was way too hard on this old lady. Fortunately, Mrs. Noble and I found each other. I truly believe Will Rogers will be my last school. I have many years of teaching ahead of me, and am excited to spend them in Shawnee.

I have been fortunate to win a number of awards in my years as a teacher, including being honored twice in Enid as Teacher of the Year at Glenwood School. I also received the Enid Air Force Association's Teacher of the Year for two years, and have been nominated for its state and national awards. I have presented at state and national conferences and have been designated as a Master Teacher by the Oklahoma Energy Resource Board and work as a teacher-trainer for science curricula throughout the state. I also co-authored OERB's second elementary curriculum, and I am the co-author of a new picture book, O is for Oil.

I am a faculty member for one of the nation's most prestigious professional development organizations for teachers, Pathways to Literacy, and I am also active as a trainer of teachers for several statewide organizations.

School picture day is November 7
