Steve Gard, Principal
A proud Colorado native, I have spent my entire 27-year career in education working in four different alternative schools across three different school districts with roles both in and out of the classroom. After getting my BA in mathematics from Northern Colorado University in 1997, I taught mathematics at Colorado High School of Greeley, an alternative school in Greeley/Evans District 6, for 11 years. I was the only math teacher on staff, so I taught all math subjects including Pre-Algebra, Algebra I & II, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, and even Applied Physics.
While completing my Master's degree in educational leadership from Northern Colorado University, I left Colorado High School to become a co-founder of a new alternative program, the Greeley/Evans Alternative Program (GAP). I served as the Dean of Students for 11 years at GAP, then moved to Colorado Springs to serve as the principal for Patriot High School, an AEC in District 49 (Falcon). I love working with teens and with passionate educators who want to make a difference in our students' lives. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife, three cats, and one dog. I also am a huge Denver Broncos fan (yes, even when they are losing!). I'm happy to be at Aspen Valley!
