Derek Christenson To All Instructors

Mr. Christenson grew up in Lexington, Kentucky as the eldest child of a large Catholic family that loved sports and the fine arts.  He and his sisters were all "band geeks" and athletes, and he continues to love soccer to this day. Mr. Christenson is an alumnus of Miami University in Oxford, where he majored in both Trumpet Performance and Music History.

This is Mr. Christenson’s first year with PATH. He is excited to be working with the students! Mr. Christenson has been an instructor at Divine Mercy from the very beginning of that co-op and is grateful for the opportunity to work with so many wonderful students over the last decade at DMHC. He continues to teach at DMHC. He has taught at co-ops for 15 years and relishes the chance to help young people grow their academic skills every year. 

Mr. Christenson and his wife, Erica, have homeschooled their four children for the past 15 years.  Their eldest son graduated in 2024 from the University of Cincinnati and is about to be married. Their eldest daughter is a second-year student in the honors program at UC. Both are graduates of the Divine Mercy program. Their younger two children (twins!) will be in the 12th grade in the 2025-26 school year. The Christensons have lived in Milford for 30 years and are parishioners of St. Andrew the Apostle Catholic Church.
