Our Heritage
Christa
McAuliffe Elementary School was named for 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. It is for her and the teaching profession
that the Lewisville ISD Board of Trustees named this elementary
school.
