I have tried to carry on in the footsteps of Mike Robinson who was a very successful principal for 37 years at Salina Elementary.

The Kent Christensen Principal Salina Elementary School An important milestone is coming to an end in my life. Being Principal of Salina Elementary has been a very positive experience. We have worked together as a team teachers, instructional assistants, students, custodians, cooks, PTA, parents, Senior Citizens, and many other groups. This team effort has resulted in providing an excellent education for our students. If all the communities in the slate would get involved in helping students the way our community has, the quality of education in the state would soar. The parents and many Senior Citizens have donated thousands of hours of service in such activities as teaching enrichment classes, assisting in the computer lab, helping in classrooms and many other services. Before coming to Salina Elementary, I never imagined that a community would be willing to get involved to the extent our community has. I salute you and can testify that it is making a difference.
