About Mrs. K

Hello and welcome!

My name is Kristi Kleiser, I am an Arizona native and a Kyrene School District alumni. I attended Las Lomas Elementary and also Centennial Middle School. I am so proud to be back at CMS and to become a Sabercat again! 

I was involved in theatre, dance and choir all through my high school years and decided to pursue a degree in theatre from ASU. I graduated in 2013 with my bachelor's in theatre and quickly moved to Florida to work for the wonderful Walt Disney World. I worked at all 4 parks as a performer and got to meet some amazing people from around the globe. Working closely with children at Disney sparked my passion for education. I returned to Arizona where I soon graduated with my Master's in Special Education and Elementary Education in 2015. 

This job is a dream come true. Theatre is truly my passion and I hope I can pass that passion on to our community's youth. I am happy to be part of such an excellent, enthusiastic staff and love working with our talented students! I can't wait to meet and work closely with your family as well.
