Kristen Mora has been part of the Arcadia Educational Foundation Summer School community since she was a student herself back in 1994, and she’s been committed to the AEF program ever since. She officially joined the team in 2006, starting out as an instructional aide at the elementary level before becoming a Kindergarten teacher. From there, she made her way to middle school, where she brought energy and creativity to a variety of English and Theater classes, helping students find their voice and build confidence along the way. Her passion and leadership eventually led her to become the AEF Middle School Principal. Now in her fifth summer in this role, Kristen is excited to roll out fresh, engaging classes that keep up with our ever-changing world, all while making sure summer school stays fun, supportive, and full of opportunities for students to shine.
