About Us

Christa McAuliffe Middle School in Boynton Beach, Florida was named after Christa McAuliffe to honor her legacy as a teacher and astronaut. Christa McAuliffe was selected as the first civilian teacher to fly in space as part of NASA’s Space Shuttle program. Tragically, she died in the Challenger disaster on January 28, 1986, when the space shuttle exploded shortly after takeoff. Her dedication to education and her role in promoting space exploration inspired many communities to memorialize her.

Our name serves as a lasting tribute to McAuliffe’s vision of bringing space exploration into classrooms and making science accessible and exciting for our students here at Christa McAuliffe Middle School.

The School District of Palm Beach County serves more than 189,000 students who speak 150 languages and dialects. We are a High-Performing School District with 335 Choice & Career Programs. Our mission is to educate, affirm, and inspire each student in an equity-embedded school system.
 

We are an A rated school
