"I love my tribe at Tioga Junior High. It has been my home school since I arrived to the Ward10 community in 2010, first as a math teacher and now serving as Acting Principal. At TJH we are challenged to live bravely. We are bold in our positive decisions, respectful, responsible and resilient and accountable to ourselves, our school and our community. We value all and work towards academic excellence everyday. It is a sincere honor and privilege to support the best students, faculty, and parents in Rapides Parish. I'm blessed to be able to be a part of all the great things happening at TJH! Be Brave! "

In her own words:
"I transitioned to junior high from elementary in 2017 after being encouraged by Dr. Pippen and Dr. Dewees to move to middle school. Dr. Pippen said, “Mrs. Christman, if you are a good teacher you can teach anything!” Coincidentally, my husband moved to the Reservation to serve as a football coach and head track coach at Tioga High School that same year. My youngest son was going to be in 7th grade so we went to junior high together. My oldest daughter now teaches here, my other daughter works in retail, my oldest son graduated from THS and plays football at LCU, and that 7th grader is now a Senior and can be easily spotted on the football field on Friday nights!"
