Meet the CRMS Staff: Red Hawk of the week

Each week, we’ll shine the spotlight on a member of our amazing staff, giving our families a chance to learn more about the people who make our school special.

Meet Ms. Celena Slaton

6th grade Social Studies Teacher

This is the second year at CRMS for Ms. Slaton, who says the very best part of being a Red Hawk is everything! She loves being part of a community filled with amazing parents, brilliant students, caring staff, and dedicated teachers. An Army veteran and passionate percussionist, she made history as the first female quint player in her high school and even marched in her college drumline during a Chicago Bears halftime show at Soldier Field in the early ’90s. Go Red Hawks!
