My name is Kristina Allison and I currently teach 8th grade language arts and computer science. I have been teaching for over 14 years and have taught language arts, computer science, social studies, RSP, German, newspaper and even home economics for a short time. (I still feel I should apologize to those kids). I enjoy torturing students with my humor and reward all who laugh at my jokes. I am passionate about words–reading and writing them. I have two children who supply me with endless laughter and frustration. I enjoy running, hiking, traveling and spending time with my family and friends. Simply lie and compliment me on either my wit or my impeccable taste, and we’ll get along just fine.
