Hello, my name is Christopher Padilla, and I am the 8th Grade Assistant Principal for the 2023-2024 school year. This is my 16th year in education with experience as an Elementary School teacher, Middle School teacher, High School Counselor, Early College High School Director as well as High School and Middle School Assistant Principal. I am a proud graduate of The University of Texas at San Antonio with a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies and a Masters Degree in Counseling.  I love education and am a lifelong learner.

Some of my responsibilities at Kitty Hawk Middle School include working with our 8th Grade teachers, Science and Health teachers. My goals are to help our teachers prepare our students for their futures by providing the tools, habits, and mindset they need to succeed in the middle school years and beyond. This is my first full year on this campus, and I am excited to be a part of the Kitty Hawk family. Go Flyers!
