S. Christa McAuliffe

Teacher. Mother. Wife. Daughter. Sister. Friend. 
Christa McAuliffe was one of the most inspirational women of our time. She pursued her dreams and pushed the limits, wanting to become the first teacher in space. Christa McAuliffe was part of the NASA Teacher in Space project and was chosen out of 11,500 applicants. She was scheduled to teach two lessons from the Space Shuttle. She was 37 years old at the time of the Challenger explosion and she left behind a husband Steve and 2 young children, Scott and Caroline. 



Our McAuliffe School family is honored to walk through these doors every morning into a school where we "Reach For The Stars" all day, every day. Sharon Christa McAuliffe, we thank you for all that you did to show us that being the best you can be every day is something that we all need to strive for. On this 30 year anniversary of the Challenger Explosion we honor you and we honor you every day here at the McAuliffe School.
