Twin Peaks Classical Academy - "A Classical School"

Help us welcome Caroline Mosqueda to the Preschool team at Twin Peaks! She will be an Instructional Assistant. Hello My name is Carolina. Working with young children has always been something that I saw myself doing since I was in Middle school. I have about 3 years of experience working with children of all ages from infants all the way to 5th Graders. I am currently attending CU Denver to get my degree in Elementary Education. Previous to CU, I attended Front Range Community College through Highschool and I have experience doing computer science and Business. Other than work and school, I love to go to the mountains with family and friends.

Welcome, Dr. Fritz! We're thrilled to have her joining our Secondary English team! Hi, my name is Dr. Megan Fritz, and I’m excited to join the staff at Twin Peaks as an 8th grade English teacher. I’m originally from Arkansas, but moved to Colorado over fourteen years ago. I attended a classical school from sixth grade through twelfth grade, and I love the depth of knowledge found in classical literature. My husband and I chose Twin Peaks Classical Academy for our three children who have been students in the elementary for the last three years, and we love the curriculum, culture, and community of the school. I love teaching students of any age from homeschooling our three children through the pandemic to teaching at the college level at Colorado State University. I consider myself to be a lifelong student and I love sharing what I’ve learned with others. During my free time I enjoy gardening and learning a lot of life lessons from our collection of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, quail, and our recently added miniature goats. I’m looking forward to getting to know the middle school students and helping them hone their reading, writing and rhetoric skills.

Please give a welcome to our new science teacher, Sebastian Roeder! You may recognize him as he is already our Men's soccer coach and we are now excited to have him join the team on staff! Hello, Twin Peaks! I'm thrilled to be joining the science faculty this year. I have a passion for science education fueled by a B.S. in Health Sciences, an M.A.T., and an M.S. in Exercise Science. (Plus, a PhD in Health Sciences is on the horizon!) When I'm not in the classroom (now in my 5th year!), you might find me exploring the world of science with my wife, Sarah, and our dog, Coco. Outside of science, I love getting lost in a good book, rocking out on the drums, or – no surprise here – chasing a soccer ball! Get ready for a year of engaging science exploration!

Join us in a welcome to Ms. Walvoort, but by the time you meet her, she will likely already be Mrs. Wanninger! She is joining our Special Education team and we are excited to have her! My name is Jessica Walvoort (soon to be Wanninger!) and I enjoy travelling, experiencing new cultures, and building lasting relationships. I grew up in Wisconsin and Iowa, but for the last two years I called Managua, Nicaragua home. I have a passion for working in the Special Education realm and I am very excited to work as the Secondary Special Education teacher at Twin Peaks.

A big Timberwolf welcome to our new High School English teacher, Ms. Lovely! Ms. Lovely is originally from Fort Collins, and she is excited to return to Northern Colorado from Arizona. She studied history at Grand Canyon University, and attended the Leadership and the American Presidency Program through The Ronald Reagan Institute and George Mason University in Washington D.C. Ms. Lovely spent the past year teaching Humane Letters at a Great Hearts Academy in Phoenix, Arizona. The years prior she worked for the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools with its Strategic Development team, as well as with the Academic and Career Excellence Center at Grand Canyon University as the Expert Writing LEAD. Ms. Lovely attended a classical charter school from elementary through high school in Northern Colorado, and she understands the rigors and beauty of a classical education. Outside of the classroom, Ms. Lovely enjoys spending time with friends and family, enjoying the Colorado seasons (particularly fall), and shopping at Trader Joe’s. She loves chai and sweater weather, especially when they are accompanied by a good book. She is thrilled to be back in Northern Colorado teaching English at Twin Peaks!

Throwback to the end of our spring semester, when Personal Finance students participated in a cost of living game using real world scenarios! All Twin Peaks high school students take Personal Finance to think about how to use their money responsibly.

Here's a throwback to one of our favorite Twin Peaks traditions: At the end of the semester, middle school students join high schoolers in small group discussions surrounding the nature of fortitude. In order to develop ideas, students are drawing on their readings from History and English, making observations, and wrestling with what's necessary for fortitude to form within an individual and/or a community. It's become a tradition that we have cross-grade discussions in preparation for finals week, and we are always amazed at the level of engagement our students bring to these explorations. Proud day to be a Timberwolf!
