Mrs. Shepperd
Biography
My name is Hillary Shepperd (Harding) and I have worked at Cherry Creek Academy in the past. I had left CCA the past year (2017-2018) to work as a technology teacher at Douglas County School district and to gain a full teacher license through the districts program. I am very happy to be back at Cherry Creek Academy to be the K-4th technology teacher and 7th/8th tech elective teacher.
I grew up in Greenwood Village, Colorado. Starting my education at Cottonwood Creek to Campus and onto Cherry Creek HS. I graduated from Colorado State University in 2010 with a BFA with a focus on Graphic Design.
Shortly after graduating, I found myself teaching elementary English in South Korea for a year. I loved every second of being in the classroom! Afterwards, I traveled Asia for a few months before finally coming home to Denver. Traveling is important in life and it was a time in life where I grew the most in every way possible. It is something that needs to be experienced first hand to really understand the impact travel has.
Technology and traveling relate as they both can change so quickly and if you are not able to be thoughtful and flexible with the situation at hand, it will never work out. I am excited to take this journey with CCA students this year to help them be smart tech travelers so that they can continue to travel through this wonderful crazy 21st century life while at CCA and beyond.
