Hi, I am Kristi Hiner and I am excited to start my second year teaching 6th grade and my fifth year working here at Lone Mountain.  Prior to getting my state teaching certification I worked as a paraprofessional at Lone Mountain in 5th and 6th grade Resource.  A little about me, I graduated from the University of Missouri with a Hospitality Degree which led to some amazing jobs at  some of the top resorts here in the Valley.  I have two kids which is what led me to a career change.  Once my youngest started school I became a substitute teacher and found my passion for working with students.  My kids are now 11 and 13 and love to play sports so outside of the school I spend a lot of time at various fields and courts.  My family is currently into camping and we are working on visiting the many amazing places Arizona has to camp, hike and other fun outdoor activities.
