Pamela Rowe

Teaching has been a part of my life since graduating high school. I work with students in order to maximize their potential and explore their creativity to achieve their post-school goals and prepare for real life. I truly enjoy coming to work every day to see students and staff at school. Connecting with students and watching them grow throughout their four years here is my motivation, passion, and reason for continuing in this profession. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my two children, two dogs, and chinchilla. We love to paddle board, bike, explore the outdoors, and just have fun.

Akira Shazier

Hello, my name is Akira Shazier, and I am excited to serve as a paraprofessional here at our school. I have worked in education for six years, supporting students with diverse learning needs in both center-based and inclusive classroom settings. I earned my Associate of Arts in Elementary Education from the Community College of Aurora, and I am now finishing my Bachelor’s in Special Education K–12 at the University of Northern Colorado.

I am passionate about promoting dignity, independence, and inclusive practices that help every learner feel seen, valued, and capable. In my work, I focus on building strong relationships, teaching life skills, and creating supportive environments where students can grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my dog, Ladi, and relaxing with friends and family. I am grateful to be part of this team and look forward to another wonderful year of growth and learning with our students.
