Kristian Atkins

I've been married since 11/2/01 to William Dietz. I have one child, a son, Derek, a lovely daughter in law (Kristen) and two beautiful grandsons - Connor and Dylan.

I graduated from DePaul University, and have been in the medical/healthcare industry for most of my career.

In 2018 we moved from Hawaii to Colorado Springs, and in January 2020 we relocated to Aberdeen, Maryland.

Well, to tell the truth, I don't have a lot of memories - any that I'd share, anyway! MSHS was a big school and I was not particularly popular so I didn't leave much of a "mark". But overall, I remember good times, good friends and a sense of school spirit and pride that I just don't think kids feel these days. I always say that we went to school during a "golden" time - when we could still have fun and be young - we did get away with a lot!

I do recall dedicated teachers and very talented students - the band, the choir, drama - I was very proud of the amazing talent in our school. The school was all about football, but there was a lot of other really cool stuff going on, too.

Overall I had a good experience, but I'd never want to go back - high school is a tough gig.
