Christiansen to represent Bemidji High School for Assistant Principal of the Year
May 23—BEMIDJI — Bemidji High School
Assistant Principal Christine Christiansen was recently selected to represent the northern division of the Minnesota Association of Secondary School Principals as High School Assistant Principal of the Year.
"Christiansen has served as an assistant principal at Bemidji High School for the past four years," a release said. "During that time, she has demonstrated outstanding leadership, a commitment to student achievement and a dedication to fostering a positive school culture."
The release noted Christiansen's instrumental role in leading special education and 504 programming to ensure equitable student support. She has also guided the school's site team through continuous improvement efforts, led implementation of the Marzano curriculum process, and developed targeted reading and math interventions that improved academic outcomes.
"Her contributions to district-wide committees have further strengthened a positive, inclusive culture at Bemidji High School," the release adds.
The MASSP represents over 1,350 principals from across the state of Minnesota, divided into eight regions, with each region selecting one representative for annual recognition. In December, a statewide selection board will review all eight finalists and choose one to represent Minnesota at the national level.
