Chrystie Grant

Profile:

Hello!  My name is Chrystie Grant and I am the Elementary Technology teacher at Curtisville Primary Center and East Union Intermediate Center.  I have been teaching at Deer Lakes since 2006 and have been the Elementary "Tech" teacher since 2011.  Prior to teaching in the elementary buildings, I taught computers, alternative education math, and provided remedial math support at Deer Lakes Middle School for the first five years of my career.  I was also the Classrooms for the Future Technology Coach at Deer Lakes High School for one year.  
 
I grew up in Robinson Township and graduated from Montour High School.  I currently live in the Avonworth School District with my husband, 12-year-old daughter, 7-year-old son, and two dogs, Cooper & Bailey, who are both 16 years old!  I love photography, arts & crafts, and working on projects in our home.
