WJON — Colleen Christenson ’71 has been teaching in the Sauk Rapids-Rice district since 1971.
A lot has changed over the years to say the least.
“I remember when we teachers got our first computers, I was sitting at my computer and the teacher above me on the second floor sent me a message and it was so exciting! We did not have computers, copy machines and iPads back then when I started.”
Christenson is a 5th grade teacher at Mississippi Heights Elementary School and is retiring this spring. She says she decided to be a teacher at an early age and that it’s one of the most rewarding jobs out there.
