Peak to Peak Mountain Charter
Treasurer

Mrs. Carolyn Schwantes retired on June 30, 2021. During her time at Peak to Peak she taught Kindergarten through 6th grade.

Professional Perspective: Teaching children is the window to the future.  Carolyn's position allows her to help them discover their capabilities, guide them to experience education as a lifelong endeavor, and encourage them to reach their potential.  This is the challenge that keeps her in the classroom.  Each day is a new chance to challenge students and instill confidence and independence.  With the Lifelong Guidelines and the Life Skills as building blocks, the students practice and adopt principles that will benefit them in all situations throughout their lives.
