Welcome

Christopher Williams CLT '13

Join us in giving a warm Charlotte-Piedmont Triad welcome to our new Manager of Alumni Experience, Christopher Williams. He is a 2013 Charlotte alumnus who previously taught at Reid Park Academy and the newest addition to our staff family.

 

Though originally from Jacksonville, FL, Christopher considers joining staff a "home coming" as Teach for America Charlotte Piedmont Triad will always feel like home to him.  
 

Christopher say that when he's not listening to a Podcast, reading a book, or doing something down right nerdy; you can find him running one of the greenways. "I picked up the hobby a few years back and have completed a number of 5K's, 10K's and 15K's," says Christopher. "I'm super excited to start running trails this winter."

help maggie peale '17 cpt build classroom set of laptops

Maggie's classroom is in need of 8 more computers to make a full classroom set! Her class sizes have grown and her students do not have full access to a computer cart meaning they are not all able to access key sites when they need them. With your support, my students can develop vital technology skills, share their learning with others, and critically think about the fast-changing environment around them. We ask that you share the DonorsChoose link below and donate if you can.
