Our mission: In fifth grade we aim to inspire, challenge, and motivate all students to reach their full potential by providing engaging, meaningful experiences that allow students to build knowledge and understanding.
Mr. Fink
I'm one of the many Michiganders that has found a home in Colorado. I went to college at Michigan State University (GO GREEN). After graduating college in 2007, I moved to beautiful Colorado and have enjoyed each new adventure here. Other than teaching, I enjoy reading, fishing, board games, playing/watching sports, traveling, camping, hiking and so much more that Colorado has to offer. I've been in Boulder teaching, as well as coaching high school basketball since 2011. I love being part of the High Peaks community and plan to be a part of it for many years to come.
Ms. McGovern
I grew up in Connecticut and graduated from Connecticut College in 2022 with double majors in Educational Studies and Dance. After moving to Boulder in 2023, I quickly fell in love with Colorado and am so happy to call it home! Outside of the classroom, I enjoy sewing and just about any other craft, listening to Taylor Swift, playing board games, and spending time with my dog, Toast. I had such a positive experience completing my student teaching at High Peaks, and I feel so lucky to be back and part of the community as a 5th grade teacher.
