Meet the Principal
Cathy Baune
Dear Secrest Firebird Community,
Whether you are new to Secrest or have had a student with us for years, I want to start by saying welcome to the 24-25 school year!
I am so proud of the work we have done as a school community over the 2 years I have had the privilege of being Principal. Our community has expanded to include families from closing schools and those who relocate to our little corner of Arvada. This year I am excited to launch our Family Ambassador program as another level of connection and a way to continue building a sense of belonging in our school.
Secrest has a long history of being a strong part of the Arvada community and this year we celebrate our 70th year as a school! We will celebrate together in January of 2025.
I am so lucky to work with dedicated teachers and staff and supportive families who want to partner with us for the benefit of their students. But most of all... I LOVE our Secrest Firebird Students!!!
Please don't hesitate to reach out to me at any time. Let's RISE Up together to make 24-25 our best year yet!
Ms. Cathy Baune
Principal, Secrest Elementary
