Hello,
My name’s Chris Orlando and I’ve been called a PollyAnna, sugar-coated idealist. But I like to think of myself as more optimistic than that. I love my job and will do all that I can to help students navigate their middle school experience (and beyond), discover the power of learning, and have some fun along the way.
I’m a Lawrence kid through and through. Having attended Broken Arrow, Schwegler, South Junior High, and Lawrence High I've been fortunate to be surrounded by wonderful teachers. My mom taught in the district for the majority of my life, and helped me see the noble task of educating children for what it is: fun!
See below for some shockingly personal and psychologically insightful "pros and cons" about me. Then, enjoy a few pictures of my family.
