Chris joined the Hammond community in 2002 as Head of Upper School, and for the past eight years has served as Headmaster. In making its selection, SCISA took into consideration the progress Hammond has made under Chris’ leadership, and the expectation of excellence found in all facets of the school program. While many criteria were used in making this award, Angel has long been recognized in the Hammond community as a forward thinking educator, a patron of the arts, a devoted sideline coach, a teacher, a mentor, a community servant, and most importantly, an advocate for children of all ages.
