Teacher of the Week: Ms. Christiansen

“I’ve had the privilege of teaching a diversity of topics at RHS over the past 8 years- including but not limited to: Psychology, English as a Second Language, and US History. I am the Equal Rights Advocacy club advisor, and Class of 2025 advisor! I

 love to compete in Gael Cup events, and brag about beating the other classes! Outside of school, traveling and reading are my hobbies. My motto that I live by is, “Nevertheless, she persisted”.  The way to my heart is history knowledge, and a good Costco hotdog!”-Ms. Christiansen

“Ms. Christiansen is the best! She makes human behavior so much fun and I look forward to coming to her class every day! She is an amazing teacher and person and I’m so lucky that I have her as a teacher this year!” – Taylor Schauble, Junior

“Mrs. Christiansen is an awesome person inside of the classroom and out. I have not been lucky enough to be in one of Mrs. Christansen’s classes, but I have had her for a VIP sophomore year and she would always greet me with a smile and to ask me how I was. She will always go out of her way to help students, and put a smile on someone else’s face. She is one of our class advisors as well, and she just makes school a fun place to be. Thank you Mrs. Christiansen for all you do, and she is very deserving of this award! – Alexis Oliveira, Senior

“Ms. Christiansen is one of my favorite teachers! I’ve known her since my freshman year and she’s supported everything I do. She always has a smile on her face and is so welcoming! Ms. Christiansen is very deserving of TOTW!”- Emily Cegielnik, Junior

“Mrs. Christiansen is by far one of the kindest and most caring teachers I’ve ever had. She is a constant cheerleader and supporter for all her students. I was blessed with having her as a civics teacher in middle school and I’ve now had her as an Equal Rights Advocacy and Student Council advisor for four years. She is truly amazing!” -Katie Caron, Senior

Congratulations to Ms. Christiansen, our 10/28 Teacher of the Week!
