LET'S WELCOME OUR NEW HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
Dear Center Students and Families,
I am honored to introduce myself as the new principal at Center High School. I am grateful for the opportunity to lead a school with such incredible students, dedicated staff, and a supportive school community. I feel very fortunate to be part of this school and to support the students and families.
I have worked in education for more than fifteen years. I began my career teaching special education at Sangre de Cristo Elementary, followed by two years teaching kindergarten at Haskin Elementary. From 2013 to late 2021, I served as the Associate Director of the Early Childhood Council of the San Luis Valley. I returned to Center Schools in November 2021 as the secondary special education teacher. I am thrilled to utilize my skills as an educational leader at Center High School and work in partnership with parents and families to ensure the success of our students.
On a personal note, I was born and raised in the Denver Metro area, a graduate of Denver Public Schools. My husband is a Valley Native. We farm potatoes and barley in Alamosa and Saguache counties. Our daughters attend Haskin Elementary and Skoglund Middle School. We love Center and all this community offers.
I am proud to be Center Viking and intend to carry forward the tradition of high standards and rich learning experiences for all students.
I thank you for allowing us to teach and care for your children, and I look forward to meeting you soon!
Sincerely,
Nicole Neufeld
