Today we take a moment to reflect and remember our School’s namesake, Christa McAuliffe, along with the other six astronauts who perished in the Challenger shuttle disaster.
On January 28, 1986, at 11:38 a.m., EST, the space shuttle Challenger lifted off Pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center, Florida. The entire crew of seven was lost in the explosion 73 seconds into the launch. Today, we honor in memory the brave crew who gave their lives for the exploration of space – – Ellison Onizuka, Mike Smith, Christa McAuliffe, Dick Scobee, Greg Jarvis, Ron McNair and Judith Resnik. Sharon Christa McAuliffe, a New Hampshire social studies teacher, was NASA’s choice for the first teacher in space.
