Hello!

My name is Christina Haggerty, and I’m thrilled to begin my first year at Manzanita as I celebrate my 20th year in elementary education!

I was born and raised in Lompoc, where I attended a local elementary school, middle school, and graduated from Lompoc High. I earned my Bachelor of Arts with an emphasis in Child and Family Sciences from California State University, Fresno (insert Bulldog bark here). Additionally, I hold a teaching credential and a master’s in teaching from Brandman University, as well as a Reading and Literacy Credential from the University of San Diego.

I’m married to my high school sweetheart, Brian, and we have two children: Hailey, a junior at Lompoc High, and Logan, an 8th grader at VMS. When I’m not in the classroom, you can usually find me on a sports field cheering for our kids, “glamping,” reading, hanging out with my two pups, or working on our new family business, Haggerty Glass.

I’m incredibly excited to be part of the Manzanita family and cannot wait to create wonderful memories together!
