Meet the Principal
Dear Coronado Community,
On behalf of the Coronado staff, I would like to welcome you to Coronado Elementary School. It brings me such pleasure to serve the community where I live. I have close ties to the Chatfield area as my three sons attended Coronado, Falcon Bluffs and Chatfield High School. In addition, I have lived in the neighborhood and the same house for over 28 years. I feel so fortunate to have made such lasting friendships and partnerships. This truly is a great community!
Teaching is my passion. I enjoy working in the school environment and learning side-by-side with our students. Nothing brings me greater joy than teaching, collaborating and listening. That is why It is hard to believe I have been in education for over 30 years. Time sure flies when you are doing something you love!
I spent 14 years teaching third through sixth grade and another six years as an instructional coach helping teachers dig into data and instruction. And I spent the last 11 years as an elementary school principal. This is my fifth year at Coronado as the principal and I am looking forward to a positive, upbeat and successful school year.
Our vision is to ensure your child has fun in a safe and welcoming environment while engaging in creative and authentic learning tasks. We also want our students to be empowered to face the world of tomorrow, to take risks and to persevere through challenges. We strive to cultivate a culture of instructional excellence and provide students with extraordinary experiences.
I am honored to be your servant leader here at Coronado. I look forward to meeting you and partnering with you to do what is best for our students.
Let’s work together and make it a great year!
Educationally yours,
Karen Brown
