The CTE Bot: San Antonio ISD
Volume I, Issue 6
Welcome to CTE, Christina Mank-Allen, CTE Director
Thank you for welcoming me these last three weeks. I look forward to meeting and working with all of you!
I grew up in San Antonio but left for a few years to complete my degree at The University of Texas at Austin (Hook ‘em). After teaching math for four years in Leander ISD, northwest of Austin, I moved back to my home town and taught for the next 6 years in elementary school. I decided to finally go back to school to complete my Educational Leadership degree, and have spent the last 9 years in administration at the elementary, middle and high school level. As a secondary administrator, I was responsible for opening a middle school magnet program, that would eventually feed into an already existing high school CTE Academy. Now in my 20th year in education, I am proud to be a part of the SAISD Career and Technical department, and I look forward to working with all of you!
On a personal level, I have 2 sons at A&M (yes, we are a house divided), and 1 daughter in 8th grade, there is still hope. I love to spend time with my family, and we are always working on projects of some sort to include home improvements, gardening, or arts and crafts. They are extremely supportive, even when I come up with crazy, ambitious ideas, and couldn’t imagine it any other way.
I am here to help and support all of you in any way that I can. You can text me anytime at 210-837-4403, or email me cmank1@saisd.net.
Have a wonderful, restful, weekend.
