Christa

From Ordinary to Extraordinary

America’s first teacher selected for space, Christa McAuliffe is the focus of a powerful documentary about the creation of a statue commemorating her remarkable legacy. The statue, unveiled September 2024 on the New Hampshire State House lawn was sculpted by renowned Idaho artist Benjamin Victor. This documentary celebrates Christa's life and her enduring legacy. Through interviews with former students, New Hampshire dignitaries and educators, she is remembered as a teacher who believed that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things.

As the first woman and educator to be commemorated with a statue on the New Hampshire State House lawn, Christa remains an inspiration to the next generation of dreamers and achievers.

The documentary CHRISTA will premiere on December 19th at 8:30 PM on New Hampshire PBS. After the broadcast, viewers can stream the documentary on the PBS App.

The documentary CHRISTA is generously supported by the New Hampshire Humanities.
