A Message from Keshia Medellin, Head of School:
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students of CEC Parker,
I am humbled and honored to be given the opportunity to serve as the new Head of School starting February 7. For the last 20 years, I have been an educator. I spent many years as a college and high school teacher. Eight years ago, I helped open CEC Parker as a college teacher. I spent 4 years teaching at CEC Parker, then moved into a new role where I joined another school’s leadership team and became an instructional coach. Two years ago, I returned to CEC Castle Rock and helped the school open as the Academic Dean. Now, I am excited to come into this new role and be able to get to work.
There is a quote I love, “Use education to accomplish your grandparents' wildest dreams.” I believe intensely in the power that education can be used to change lives, engender hope, and create opportunity. When I think about CEC’s mission and I distill it down to its essence, it is about providing opportunities for our students. Every day, students have the opportunity to grow, academically and personally, the opportunity to experience and display kindness, and the opportunity to make connections and feel seen. Each day, students get the choice to grab ahold of those opportunities, reap the benefits, and accomplish their dreams. I will work hard to continue CECP’s legacy of academic excellence, but also a place that supports and cares for all students and staff.
I am looking forward to building a strong partnership with the CECP community. To jump-start that partnership, I invite you to a meet and greet. Please come and chat with me. They will be held during the days and times below. I look forward to meeting you all.
