Having worked closely with the Cantor house support staff and faculty this year as the Innovation Lab program associate, I look forward to establishing a closer relationship with them as Cantor house administrator. I will also work tirelessly to represent our wonderful World Language teachers to enhance their voice at the high school.”
An educator for 22 years, Shaw has been with Greenwich High School since 2001, and has held leadership positions at the school as Social Studies Learning Facilitator, Assistant Dean of Students, and as Program Associate and founding teacher for Innovation Lab.

Christina will provide the students, staff, and parents of Cantor House and the World Language Program with strong leadership, creative problem solving, and thorough follow through. I have full confidence in Christina and welcome her with great enthusiasm to the leadership team of GHS.”
