Faculty
Excellence is demanded of our teachers in order to promote excellence
in the children.
We are proud of our exceptional faculty. Our teachers are licensed and
experienced, caring, supportive, and dedicated. They foster joyful learning,
which is so essential to our learning environment. The faculty is committed
to the development of the "whole child" and exhibit an unusually
high degree of professionalism and creativity. Many of them have advanced
degrees, and many varied areas of expertise.
Excellence is demanded of our teachers in order to promote excellence
in the children. Because each teacher creates the emotional climate in the
classroom and strives to provide motivation for learning, children's needs
are met with success. Carefully crafted lessons and experiences provide
the best possible education for each child. The children, faculty, and parents
work together as a team to provide a most unique learning experience and
to ensure the development of the total child.

Dr.
Cynthia Wallace has been our principal for the past 25 years.
Dr. Wallace began her educational journey as a speech pathologist,
earning a B.A. and an M.A. She has an extensive knowledge of language
and learning and ensures both are utilized to facilitate all academic
areas. In addition to a Ph.D. in education with an emphasis in School
Administration, she also completed course sequences in early childhood
education, gifted education, and psychology. Finally, she decided
to get her JD from Denver University. Combining her own educational

Enhancing
the administration is our Middle School Principal, Dr. Tracy
Rogers who has been at Beacon for the past 25 years. Dr. Tracy,
as the children call her, also has an incredible background when
it comes to education. She earned a Masters Degree in School Administration
and a Doctorate in Curriculum Development. After working at Beacon
as a fourth grade teacher, she determined her assets would be best
utilized as a mentor and developer of the curriculum. She truly
enjoys her work and knows what a difference a good solid education
can make. Contact
