Parents & Students,
Telluride School District is pleased to announce the appointment of Ms. Sheree Lynn to the position of TIS Principal, effective August 1st. Ms. Lynn succeeds Mr. Chad Terry who will be moving from Telluride to Gunnison to take a new position. We thank Mr. Terry for his valuable, and much appreciated, service to the Telluride Schools.
The process to hire a new TIS Principal was driven by the Telluride community. Superintendent Mike Gass held two informational meetings, one with teachers and one with parents, designed to determine the qualities desired in the new principal. 13 candidates applied which was narrowed to seven interviews. Ultimately six interviews occurred (one candidate bowed out) with a panel of 15 people comprised of Mike Gass, TES Principal Susan Altman, TIS teachers and TIS parents. Two finalists were recommended, followed by a second interview with District leadership. Ultimately Ms. Sheree Lynn was offered the position and we are proud to announce she accepted.
Ms. Lynn holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics with a Computer Science minor from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, a Master of Arts in Geography & Environmental Studies from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, and a Master of Arts in Educational Leadership and Policy from the University of Denver.
Ms. Lynn was most recently the Assistant Principal at Harrison High School in Colorado. Additional experiences include International Baccalaureate (IB) educator and coordinator for more than a decade. Teacher of Math, Science, Technology, Theory of Knowledge & Humanities. Experience in AP, AVID as well implementation of 504, IEP, ELL & GT plans. Leadership roles include Math Department Chair, Technology Department Chair, Vertical Articulation Leader and more. She is an avid outdoors-person and leader of student initiatives including sponsor of “No Place for Hate” student groups.
Please join me in welcoming Ms. Lynn to the Telluride School District. She brings a wealth of instructional knowledge and curriculum development experience to TIS. We hope she will be able to come to Telluride for a meet and greet next week and we will provide further details as we know more
