St. Christopher School in Midlothian celebrating 100 years of community, nun who’s been there for 50 of them

St. Christopher School in Midlothian has survived for a century because of one thing, according to Principal Nicole Tzoumas.

“It’s the community that we attribute the longevity to,” she said. “Family volunteers, donors. It’s so easy for me to give you names because so many people continued here. Our secretary went here, she works here, her kid goes here. Everyone is like that.”

Tzoumas likened the continuity of the school community to a chain.

“We have a teacher whose grandmother was a teacher here,” she said.
