“I am honored and delighted to join the Christa McAuliffe community as a school leader.  I come to the school with almost twenty years of classroom teaching experience and significant administrative experience in two Massachusetts charter schools. As a long-term proponent of EL Education, I plan to support the school to align to its mission of building a culture of respect, responsibility, courage, and kindness, as well as engaging students in relevant, exciting, integrated studies that lead to the creation of high-quality work,” she said.

“I know that the school has experienced a lot of transition recently. I hope to join the team as a stabilizing force and provide guidance and support to “steady the ship” as it sails forward. I have spent much of my career at the middle school level. I have deep respect for these transition years and the unique opportunities we have to work with our students as they develop their confidence and sense of self. I can’t wait to meet the scholars, teachers, and caregivers that make up this unique, vibrant community. Please make a point to introduce yourself during the next couple of weeks so I can get to know you,” said Steinitz.
