A note from Mrs. Johnson, Assistant Principal

Hello, Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen families! I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I am a Colorado native and have been in education for 25 years. I have a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and a master’s degree in Education Leadership. For the last 13 years, I served as the principal of a Core Knowledge charter school in the Arvada area. I am excited to partner with Dr. Hudson this year to assist students, staff, and families at RMAE to have the best educational environment. One of my greatest priorities is creating a community where everyone feels welcomed, known, and valued. I am committed to knowing students by name, so I can greet them when I see them. Additionally, I am a visible, approachable, compassionate, and dedicated leader who wants to partner with families to ensure the success of their students. I look forward to getting to know and work with your family this year! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. I am looking forward to a fantastic year with the RMAE community!
