RANDY STORMS ALUMNI SERVICE AWARD CHRISTINA HOURANI SHUART ’99
The Randy Storms Alumni Service Award is given annually to an alumus/a of Wichita Collegiate who emerges as one with a strong commitment of service to the school. This individual distinguishes him-/herself through effort and responsibilities exceeding those of his or her normal course of duty. Fostered by a deep love and thoughtful vision for their Alma Mater, these recipients all share in the true spirit of the school motto, “Proba Te Dignum” (Prove Yourself Worthy). The WCS Alumni Board is honored to present this award to Christina Hourani Shuart ’99. Christina was a lifer at WCS and was involved in Madrigals, musicals, and the dance and cross country teams during her time on campus. “Some of my favorite memories are our Madrigals trips to NYC and Europe,” Christina said. She credits her teachers for instilling in her a love of reading and the courage to try new things. The adults and peers she met gave her a sense of community that was life changing and unique, and she feels lucky that her children get to experience this kind of thoughtful community. Now, as a volunteer and Trustee, she sees the amount and of time and effort our teachers, administrators, and staff put into making Collegiate a fabulous experience for every single student. Her love for the school continues to grow each year.
After Collegiate Christina attended KU and majored in Journalism. After working for a few years, she decided to move to Chicago to pursue a Master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. During graduate school she worked at various schools for children with Autism in the Chicago area. She also completed a year of a doctoral program in behavior analysis before deciding to move back to Wichita with her husband Blake, where she worked with parents and teachers of children with special needs at Heartspring. Above left is a picture of her family including three daughters Giana (9), Nora (8), and Colette (5).
