Hello! I’m Ms. Chrysna Carandang, and I traveled across the world from the Philippines to share by passion for teaching. I have always believed that every person has something valuable to offer, and that belief led me to South Lexington Developmental Center, where I now have the privilege of serving as the EC Teacher for high school–age students.

Each student I teach reminds me that success doesn’t look the same for everyone, and that is exactly what makes this work meaningful. In our classroom, we laugh, we problem-solve, we try again, and we celebrate progress. Our goal is to create a space where students feel seen, valued, and safe to be themselves. I also believe deeply in teamwork with staff and families, because when we work together, students thrive.

I am excited for a year filled with growth, learning, and moments that matter. I’m always ready to support our students as they discover their strengths and continue becoming the incredible individuals they are meant to be.
