Christy Behnke
2nd Grade Teacher

Bio
My name is Christy Behnke, and I'm proud to be starting my 23rd year in education—all of which have been spent at Lake Joy Primary. I’m a lifelong resident of Warner Robins, Georgia, and a proud graduate of the Houston County School System. I attended elementary, middle and high school in Houston County.
I hold a Master’s degree in Elementary Education, a Specialist degree in Teacher Leadership, and I am gifted certified. Throughout my career, I’ve had the joy of teaching both 1st and 2nd grade.
Teaching is truly my passion. I love helping children grow, learn, and reach their full potential. Every day in the classroom is a new opportunity to inspire, encourage, and make a lasting impact.
