Paige Feldman - Special Education

I am so happy to be working at High Peaks. My family and I moved to Colorado in 2005 from California. We feel so lucky to be in such a beautiful place. I have been teaching and working in special education for 15 years. I have worked in placements, private special education schools, owned my own educational therapeutic business and was a director of a private special education school. I feel I have a lot to offer and I am excited to be working with a dynamic staff. My hobbies are skiing, hiking, riding and art, I love to paint.

Brooke Graham - Physical Education

Growing up in Longmont, I visited Boulder many times as a child, and is nice to work in such a beautiful city. After receiving my degree from the University of Northern Colorado, I started teaching for Boulder Valley as a traveling teacher. In 2005, I began teaching at High Peaks. It is fun to see the students have fun while learning the importance of health and fitness. When I am not at school, I enjoy playing tennis, swimming, gardening, decorating, and spending time with my cherished canines. Sidney, Taylor and Tahoe, 3 Labrador retrievers.

Marla Terwilliger- Media Specialist

Beth Struble - Literacy

Born and raised in Colorado, I love the mountains and the endless sunshine here. My high school years were spent in Frederick, Colorado and my college years at CU in Boulder. After working for eight years in financial services, I left the corporate world for the classroom and have not looked back. I have taught both 4th and 5th grades in Denver and in Boulder.
When I'm not in the classroom, you can find me digging in my community garden plot, attending yoga class or walking my best friend (a fluffy, white Bichon Frise) on an open-space trail.
