Mrs. Burghart was born and raised in the Spokane area. Raised in a small town country girl, she moved to the big city after graduating with a Bachelor's in Communications from CWU. A few years later, she married her college sweetheart, and together they’ve built a wonderful family — two amazing children (one married and one in college), plus a cat and three dogs who keep things lively at home! When her children were in elementary school, Mrs. Burghart began teaching preschool and quickly discovered her passion for education. She went on to earn her Master’s in Teaching. Over the years, she has taught in both private and public schools, working with students in Kindergarten through fifth grade. Her experience includes teaching Kindergarten, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. Mrs. Burghart is ACSI-certified.

In her spare time, Chandra enjoys hiking, walking, quilting, knitting and crochet, hand embroidery, reading, and cooking. Her favorite hike was when she and her family climbed Mt. St. Helens. She loves baseball, football, and basketball. You will find her cheering on the Mariners, Seahawks, and the Zags. Family is very important to Chandra, and she spends as much time with them as possible. Mrs. Burghart is thrilled to celebrate becoming a Grammie! Her daughter and son-in-love recently welcomed their first baby, and her son graduated from Gonzaga University — go Zags!

Chandra is passionate about teaching kids to be life-long learners and followers of Christ. She loves worshiping the Lord. She looks forward to meeting Enlightium families and helping them meet their academic and spiritual goals.
