My name is Dr. Angela Valdez and I am honored to serve as principal of Mountain Vista Community  School. I am entering my 23rd year in education, and my 7th year as principal at Mountain Vista! I spent 7 years in Denver Public Schools as a bilingual teacher, 5 years as an English language development teacher here in D2, and 5 years as the assistant principal of Pikes Peak Elementary.

My connection with Harrison School District 2 goes beyond working and teaching in this district. After my dad retired from the Army, I spent my junior and senior year at Sierra High School and then graduated from there. The education I received from District 2 positioned me to not only be the first in my family to graduate with a bachelor's degree, but also to have continued my education up to the doctoral level.

As educator Rita Pierson said in one of her TED Talks, "every child deserves a champion - an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best they can possibly be." That's what we strive for at Mountain Vista. We want to be that person championing for your children and helping them to be the best they can be. See the video here.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband Troy (also a D2 graduate) and our 4 children who keep us on our toes. This is going to be a great year. I look forward to continued partnerships with returning families as well as forming new partnerships with our incoming families. Please don't hesitate to stop by, send email, or call if you have any questions or concerns or would like a school tour. Hablo español!
