MP Profile
Meet Kristy Calhoun. She and her husband, Bill, have been married for 2 years. She has a son, Kevin, who lives in Raleigh, NC. and is a computer software engineer
. She also has a daughter, Kirsti, who lives in upstate New York and is a pre-K teacher. Mrs. Calhoun has 2 grandchildren, Jaxon (4), and Leo (7 mos). This is her 15th year as a Spanish teacher at MP, and her 20th year total. What is the best part about her job? "Seeing students accomplish something they thought was impossible. I also love hearing from students after high school who tell me how they've used what they learned in my class." In her spare time, she enjoys walking, playing golf, traveling, baking, theater, maintaining the website for The Backlot Players, and sending out a monthly newsletter for the theater. When asked what she would do with the extra time if she did not have to sleep, she said "probably learn another language." When people come to her for help, they usually need help with Spanish or technology issues. She has a master's in technology. She said her grandmother has influenced her life the most, with her love, faith, kindness, and patience. Also, her 6th grade teacher, Mrs. Martin, "who made me want to teach." What keeps her up at night? - "worrying about my kids and grandchildren"
