Beginning his career as a substitute teacher and advancing to principal, Chris has served in a wide range of roles teaching and mentoring students both academically and in essential life skills. With eight years of experience teaching fourth, fifth, and sixth-grade mathematics, and a decade as a middle school and upper elementary administrator, Chris has a deep understanding of what high-quality instruction looks and sounds like. Today, he is passing these proven frameworks and methodologies on to future distinguished educators at Graceland.
