Sad news has come from Anaheim, California, where the principal of a local elementary school has passed away. Christopher Christensen, who was 51 years old, was the principal of William T. Newland Elementary School in Huntington Beach. He had been serving in the role since the beginning of this school year and had a total of 22 years of experience working in the Fountain Valley School District.
Sadly, Christensen's death was confirmed as a suicide. He passed away after jumping from a parking structure at Disneyland in Anaheim. Officials received a call just before 9 PM on Saturday and when they arrived, they found Christensen dead.

Before his passing, Christensen had posted on his Facebook page that he had been put on administrative leave from his position as a principal. He wrote that a recent argument with his wife had landed him in jail and that he was facing charges of child endangerment and battery. He had pleaded not guilty to these charges and was due in court on Monday.
In his final message on Facebook, Christensen asked that people remember him for the good he brought to the world of education. He leaves behind his wife, three children, and two stepchildren.
It is important for us to remember that we never know what someone is going through, and that it is okay to ask for help when we need it. If you or someone you know is struggling with their mental health, there are resources available to help.
