Dear Hans Christensen Families,

It is my pleasure to welcome new and returning families to another exciting and productive school year at Hans Christensen Middle School.   I am privileged to be your principal and enthused about the opportunity to serve this wonderful school community and help our students be successful.  I started my work in administration at Menifee Valley Middle School as an assistant principal. I spent five years as principal at Ridgemoor Elementary before coming to Hans Christensen in 2017.

Our dynamic and talented teaching staff continues to work and plan together to provide students with outstanding standards-based educational experiences and academic growth opportunities.  Our classified staff is top notch and the glue of Hans Christensen Middle School.

We continue to provide a safe learning environment that challenges students academically and emphasizes character development.  I am proud of the student accomplishments as well as the teachers and parents powerful push to prioritize education. I assure you that this trend for academic excellence will continue throughout the year.  Through our individual and collective commitments, we will continue the excellent reputation Hans Christensen Middle School has achieved. The entire staff at Hans Christensen is dedicated and committed to the belief that every student can learn at rigorous levels with no excuses! The parents of HCMS are an integral part of the school. I encourage you to participate in helping make your child’s school experience rich and meaningful.

I am dedicated to building strong relationships with all of you and will communicate our many school learning activities on a consistent basis.  We will use a variety of communication tools to facilitate communication. Please check our Hans Christensen Middle School website for updates on events happening here at school.  

I look forward to an exciting and successful year! Please don’t hesitate to contact our office if you need assistance.

Sincerely,
Kristina Lyman
Principal
