East High School Community,

Welcome to the beginning of what will prove to be a fantastic year for our students, staff, and community in the Land of the Angels! 

I am honored to serve as the principal of East High School.  While I have played many roles in our school district and beyond, I love being a principal.  Serving over 2,500 students on our campus is as wonderful as it gets!

Last week, over 600 Freshman joined us for our 9^th Grade Academy.  9^th Grade Academy is a week-long opportunity for our newest students to meet teachers, walk our halls, and gain a sense of what it means to become an Angel.  The energy and excitement of our newest students will soon be matched with the spirit and experience of our upper classmen.  Together, they represent not only the largest, but the most energizing and academically successful student body in the City of Denver.

This year, our focus is on ensuring that our students are fully engaged in learning experiences that will advance them to the next level as learners and leaders. 

Supporting every Angel’s academic growth toward college and career goals of their choice is our primary interest.  From deepening academic supports to further extending Career-Technical, Concurrent Enrollment, and Advanced Placement opportunities, we continue to improve the number and types of doors that our students are able to step through.

At East, we also value academic elective and pure elective choices, ensuring that learning and growing experiences extend to the creative and performance-oriented corners of our students’ minds.

I would like to take a moment to thank you, our voters and advocates, for something that has taken 94 years to take place.  Finally, after years of exhausting heat in the “summer” months, much of our school building will have air conditioning.  This is the result of the 2016 bond effort and, while the contractors are still calibrating the system, we are already getting a sense of the relief that will be provided for our students and staff through the hottest of our days.

As we begin this school year, it is important that I hear the voices of our parents and students.  Parents, please, become a part of our renewed PTSA movement.  Your interests and your action matter to us.  Students, I have Chipotle lunch every Thursday with a small group of students to listen to their thoughts.  Your questions and ideas influence the plans we make to improve our school.

Again, feel free to reach out to me at any time.  With all of us working as partners for our Angels, we are going to have an amazing school year together!

AP Biology:

Hello and welcome to AP Bio! To prepare for next year, the first thing that you need to do is to sign up for the AP Biology Schoology group.  Next year, you will be automatically added to the Schoology course, but since those don’t go live until next year, I’ve created a group where you can find out how to access to the online textbook instructions and the summer assignment (listen to a sweet podcast and respond to some online writing prompts).  To join, just go to the “join group” option and enter the group code, which is HQZ2F-2HB62.  Have a great summer!”
