Members of Kris Stanec’s ED210 Power of the Arts in Education class in a writing exercise with elementary students from Taylor Elementary.

I am currently in my third year as Superintendent of Summit County Schools. It’s a district with 3200 students surrounded by breathtaking ski resorts.

Thanks to the MAT program, I have enjoyed a long and stimulating career in education, with 27 years spent in Colorado Springs in Academy District 20. I credit the MAT program (as well as my undergraduate years at CC) with launching my career.
