"Every child needs a champion- an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and who insists that they become the best they can possibly be!"
~ Rita Pierson
As both a science teacher and Instructional Coach at Arapahoe High School, I've had the privilege of immersing myself in the rich culture and traditions that define our school. Our strong connection with the Arapaho Tribe, along with the high standards we set for both students and staff, creates a community that truly embodies the values of a Warrior. At Arapahoe, teachers collaborate to foster an innovative environment where taking risks and exploring new teaching methods are not only encouraged but celebrated. This supportive culture inspires educators to always prioritize the best interests of their students. Arapahoe is a place where educators and students alike are motivated to reach their full potential.
Inspired by a high school science teacher who made learning both engaging and challenging, I strive to infuse my own classroom with that same enthusiasm and care. My goal is to ignite a similar passion in students by creating a dynamic and supportive learning environment. By connecting with students beyond academics and encouraging them to take intellectual risks, I aim to help them develop a deep appreciation for science. Ultimately, I hope they leave with lasting memories and a sense of excitement about their educational journey.
