Where children, “Reach for the Stars”



McAuliffe School Vision

The S. Christa McAuliffe Elementary School community strives to educate the whole child intellectually, emotionally, culturally, socially, and physically by offering rich and engaging instruction in a safe, respectful, and caring environment. Our students and staff strive to be independent thinkers and life-long learners. We believe that collaboration among school, home, and community is essential in ensuring students meet our high academic and behavioral standards and achieve their fullest potential.

Please join us in honoring the 27th anniversary of the Challenger Shuttle Explosion. S. Christa McAuliffe Elementary School was named after Sharon Christa Corrigan McAuliffe. She was a wife, mother of two children and a dedicated high school social studies teacher in Concord, New Hampshire. NASA announced in July, 1985, that McAuliffe had been chosen from among more than 11,000 applicants for its "Teacher in Space Program."
 
The tragic explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger on January 28, 1986, took the lives of McAuliffe and six other crew members. Christa McAuliffe is a reminder to everyone of what classroom experiences are or should be. We are honored every single day to walk into our school and "Reach For The Stars." We hope Christa would be proud.
