Christopher is an advocate for North Carolinian scholars

Thank you all for supporting the New Leaders Giving Tuesday Campaign! Your donations support Christopher, an elementary school principal in Charlotte, North Carolina,

Christopher shows a passion and urgency in attacking the achievement gap. The disparity between students who live a life filled with choices and those who are limited by where they are born motivates him to continue serving students.

Prior to joining New Leaders, Christopher taught for 13 years, working with 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th grade scholars. He also led monthly mountain biking trips with students through the organization “Trips for Kids,” which focuses on character development for students in high-risk populations. Christopher is very proud of the work his students have done to achieve high growth on the North Carolina end-of-grade tests in reading and math.

Christopher feels that he has been a school leader for many years but is eager to refine his skills. He feels that it is time for him to take the next step, increasing and deepening the affect he has on student achievement.

Thank you Irene, Vladimir, and Joyce for supporting Christopher and New Leaders.
