Hello! I am Christina Richmond and I am looking forward to this opportunity to add a Computer Science endorsement and help the students in our school gain skills and knowledge about the world of computer science. I graduated with my degree in Education (K-8), then added a CTE degree using my 20+ years of government work where I used MS Office, built web pages, and use SQL for basic queries. Let's get started!
