Welcome to Christie Elementary School... home of the Christie Cubs! I am Lorraine Shimizu, principal at Christie. I am very excited to be a member of the Christie faculty in order to serve the students and families of the Christie community. At Christie, all classrooms are child-centered and you can count on your student to be treated with care.

My Background

I have been an educator for twenty years, the last sixteen years being here in Plano. I have worked as a fourth grade teacher, fifth grade teacher and team leader, literacy specialist, and curriculum specialist in elementary reading and language arts. I served the communities of Jackson Elementary and Andrews Elementary as their assistant principal for two years each before being named the principal at Christie.

My own education includes a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Texas at Arlington with a special endorsement in Reading and two Master’s Degrees from the University of North Texas – one in Elementary Education and one in Educational Administration. I am a lifelong learner and love to share that passion with my students.

My daughter Mandy is a graduate of the University of Missouri with a degree in Elementary Education. She is currently teaching English in South Korea. My husband Kip is an architect. My husband’s children have made me the proud “Glo” to three grandsons (with one more on the way) who keep me very busy. I also love to read, exercise, and watch the Dallas Stars play hockey.

I look forward to seeing all of my Christie Cubs and their families as this new school year begins. My door is always open so please stop by and say hello.
