New Principals introduced in West Ada...Meridian Press wrote an article introducing our very own Jeff Christopherson. Welcome to Hunter Mr. Christopherson!!! We are happy to have YOU!!!
This is Christopherson’s first year as a principal. He got the job after working as a principal intern at Willow Creek and Star Elementary last year for West Ada.
“I got to work with two great principals at two different elementary schools and really the goal of the program is to grow leadership from within,” Christopherson said. “Principals have a significant impact on the building and if the district can make sure that principles are supported through and through that building is going to get a better chance of success.”

This is Christopherson’s third year in the district and his 13th year in elementary schools — 11 years of that was teaching grades first through fifth.
“I have a whole host of experiences and none of them have been here at Hunter and so I feel that I come with a fresh set of eyes and a fresh perspective that can help fine tune some of the things here,” Christopherson said.
Having such an impact on the community around Hunter Elementary gets Christopherson up in the morning, he said, although it’s not lost on him that many of the teachers around him are veterans.
“It’s my goal to learn from and get to know the great teachers here and then see what we can do to tweak and fine-tune things to make sure that all of our systems are pointing in the right direction,” Christopherson said. “My goal is that at Hunter, we’re the top-performing elementary school.”
Based on what he’s seen in the teachers and community, Hunter is likely to reach that goal this year, Christopherson said. But numbers are not the only thing he has his eyes on.
“Our kids are so young and they deserve just a place that’s fun and exciting and a great place to be,” Christopherson said.
This year, Christopherson hopes to help students achieve in the classroom while having fun at school.
