We are joined by outstanding history teacher and 2016 Central Eagle McKenna Paintin to talk about her journey from CHS grad to CHS teacher, and the "butterfly effect" of her choice to attend Central back in 2012. She is one of the MANY talented young teacher alums who have returned to The Nest. It was fun to talk with someone at the start of their Central teaching career.
