Ms. Cristina Torrengo, ECC Principal

If you haven't yet met Ms. Christina, an encounter with her will have you wishing you were back in ECC. Christina's warm and charismatic personality results from growing up internationally, following her father's career. As a child, Christina attended international schools in Venezuela, New Zealand, Australia, and Kuwait, finally moving to Barcelona for her senior year to attend ASB. She graduated from the Class of 1984. 

I only attended ASB for one year," said Christina. "But it remains part of who I am. I made very close friends and have wonderful memories." 

Christina attributes the family atmosphere at ASB to her choice to come back to work here in 1990. She is a firm believer in child development, its stages, and outcomes, and the early years' education has been a focus all her professional life. She has taught all ECC grade levels from preschool through Kindergarten and ELL and assumed her current position as ECC Principal in 2010. It has been emotional for Christina to see her PK3 students graduate from ASB. 

When asked for a word to describe the school, Cristina quickly responds, "teamwork."
