Mrs. Kristin Santo
Education:
In 1990, I earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of Alabama with a major in Psychology and a minor in English. I am Certified in Elementary Education and ESOL, and have a Gifted Endorsement. In 2014, I graduated from the University of South Florida with a Masters Degree in Gifted Education. I have been teaching in Santa Rosa County since 2006.
Personal Information:
I am the product of a Navy family and have grown up all over the country. I met my husband, Rich, in Pensacola, and we were married in 1990. We have three children - Lorin, Clayton, and Ashley. In 2015, my oldest daughter was married and I now have a son-in-law, Richard! In 2019, we gained a daughter-in-law when my son married Miriam. Also in 2019, we welcomed our first grand baby, Halle, into the family. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, working in my garden, and most outdoor activities. I also love to make music, and I play the clarinet in the orchestra at Olive Baptist Church.

Mission:
It is my greatest desire for my students to become self-motivated, life-long learners by creating a caring classroom environment that fosters enthusiasm for learning.
