Christy White joined the Green Park faculty in 2023 as a middle school Math teacher. She taught mathematics for 15 years (mostly 9th grade- in Pre Algebra and Algebra 1) at Hazelwood Central HS for 7 years and most recently at Oakville High School for 8 years. Her heart and passion has always been in middle school and had always planned to teach middle school, but her path led her to teach in high schools for the first half of her career.
What she loves about Green Park: I saw how closely Green Park’s values, views of education, community and faith focus aligned with mine. I knew this was where I wanted to be. My family and I have been overwhelmed with so many welcoming people at Green Park and at the church community at Christ Memorial. In addition to being excited about the career change, my husband and I have decided to send our three children to school at Green Park. It is very evident to us that God had other plans for my family and I and we are so happy about that.
In her own words: The formative years of middle school mathematics are important for increasing fluency, refining math skills and the development of students as thinkers and problem solvers. I’m excited to work with the students and teachers at Green Park to help expand learning opportunities and encourage students to challenge themselves whenever possible.
Favorite Bible Verse: Psalm 36:5-7 Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep; man and beast you save, O Lord. How precious is your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
Fun facts: I spend lots of time with my three young boys, my husband, and dog. I drink more Diet Pepsi than I probably should trying to keep up with them all. My husband and I love going to the movie theater when we can and like to try out many different arcades in the area like we are teenagers still. I also stay up too late on a regular basis watching many silly reality tv shows once my kids go to bed.
