Christopher Rhone

My name is Christopher Rhone. I am originally from Baltimore, Maryland.

I am a U.S. Army Veteran who has 14 years of mid- level management work
experience in Corporate America. In addition, I have taught math for four years
within an urban school setting. I earned a Bachelors of Science degree in
Education from Morgan State University and a Master of Arts degree in Teaching
from Trevecca Nazarene University.

As an educator and school counselor, my mission is to create an

environment that allows for supervised exploration. I believe that the most
significant learning occurs in situations that are both meaningful and realistic. I
believe exceptional classroom management skills are the foundation for a
productive learning environment. When expectations and procedures are clear
and consistent, learning can take place. I believe in building a sense of community
in the classroom and promoting positive relationships among students and
teachers. Students must feel they are in a safe, fair, and comfortable environment
where they can equally contribute by sharing and gaining knowledge. I believe all
students are capable of learning. My mission as an educator and counselor is to
ensure that every student reaches his or her full academic potential.

The purpose of education is not only to enable students to become

successful in their lives, but also to teach them how to be responsible and positive
contributors to society. I will continue to stay inspired by furthering my education
through endorsements/advanced degrees and by staying informed about the
current educational reforms. My ultimate goal as a counselor is to educate,
motivate and inspire students to value lifelong learning.
