Dr. Christine Montanez has dedicated her full career advocating for at-risk students and has deliberately chosen schools within her community that serve this population. Dr. Montanez relates to these children because she too grew up in a modest household, under government aide with limited opportunities. Dr. Montanez is a prime example that the vicious cycle of socio-economic influences can be broken and continues to bring this message to her students today.

Having experience being a teacher and administrative leader gives Dr. Montanez the unique ability to ensure all students have access to standards-based curriculum and assessments that are student-centered and rich with creativity and rigor. Dr. Montanez believes in the mission and vision of Aspen Public Schools and its commitment to the promise of equal educational opportunity for all children.
