Link Crew Staff
Our Student and Faculty Link Crew Staff are absolutely amazing and have developed a world class orientation program for all incoming 9th grade students to experience! This year we implemented new Executive Board positions, called Senior Leadership, to help design and implement all programs offered through Link Crew. These Senior Leadership students have been the backbone of this program, helping develop the training for Link Crew Leaders and all the activities for New Student Orientation. However, without the help, dedication, and passion of ALL of our incredible Link Crew Leaders, New Student Orientation would not be possible. Each one of them is an incredible human being and we cannot wait for you to meet them!

Susan Fletcher
Greetings! My name is Susan Fletcher, and I teach computer courses at Palmer. I have been teaching for 30 years, with ten of them here at PHS.
Palmer is a family tradition for the Fletchers. In this picture, I am at the 1981 Palmer Class Reunion with my sister-in-law, who also graduated from Palmer in 1984. (I am on the right.)
I am so excited to welcome you to the Palmer family, class of 2027!
Laura Beth Waltz
Hi! I'm Laura Beth Waltz and I am one of the Deans at Palmer High School. I focus on restorative practices and dropout prevention. I also teach the peer counseling course. I'm so excited to meet each of you and get to know our incoming class!
Maria Briones
Hello! My name is Maria Briones and I’m the College and Career Counselor at Palmer and one of your Link Crew Sponsors. I’m excited to help our new students feel comfortable and connected at Palmer and to help them make the most of their time in high school. There are so many great opportunities to take advantage of here. A little bit about me, I graduated from UCCS with a bachelors in Psychology and a masters in Counseling and Human Services. In my free time I like to spend time outside or stay in and watch movies with my fiancé and 2 kitties. I’m looking forward to welcoming a new class of students!
Kaelinn Ward
Hello! My name is Kaelinn "KC" Ward (He/Him/His), and I am going into my 5th year teaching. In teaching I have always strived to create a culture of inclusion and camaraderie with every group I have had the pleasure of supporting. This will be my second year as a link crew sponsor and I am excited to grow the program. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family (little one on the way), increasing my shoe game, and being an average golfer!
Trevor Ivan
Hello everyone! My name is Trevor Ivan and I am a Social Studies teacher here at Palmer High School. I teach Economics, Personal Financial Literacy and World History. This my 6th year as a teacher, but only my second at Palmer! However, I graduated from PHS in May of 2012 and I can say it has been amazing to be back! I graduated from Colorado State University with my Bachelors degree in Social Studies teaching and I am only one class away from getting my Master's degree in Curriculum Design/Instruction from the University of Northern Colorado. In my free time I love to travel as I have been to 33 different countries around the world! With New Student Orientation, I am so excited for all incoming students to feel how great it is to be at PHS! Go Terrors!
