🚁 SHARE ONE OF YOUR MOST MEMORABLE MOMENTS IN YOUR CURRENT POSITION. My favorite memory was getting to see the kids participate in a Socratic seminar. 💙 WHAT PIECE OF ADVICE OR SPECIAL WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT WOULD YOU SHARE WITH ALL STUDENTS IN THE DISTRICT? It's when we don't try that we fail. Never be afraid to try. It's how we grow.

🚁 SHARE ONE OF YOUR MOST MEMORABLE MOMENTS IN YOUR CURRENT POSITION. During my first year with Calhan, Mr. Slothower arranged for a Black Hawk helicopter to touchdown on our school football field. That taught me that anything is possible at Calhan Schools! 💙 WHAT PIECE OF ADVICE OR SPECIAL WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT WOULD YOU SHARE WITH ALL STUDENTS IN THE DISTRICT? Your education is an investment in your future. Take every opportunity to explore your interests. Bring your best today.
