We are happy to introduce Ms. Kiesewetter, who joins our Leadership team!
My name is Mrs. Sarah Kiesewetter, and I am delighted to join the Timberwolves as a Secondary Assistant Principal.
I was born and raised in Colorado (born in Vail), and spent much of my childhood hiking, camping, and stargazing in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. I attended a small classical high school in Wheatridge, CO, then moved to California where I attended Thomas Aquinas College, a classical Great Books school. I graduated with a Bachelor of Liberal Arts, and later completed a course through the University of West Florida to become a certified school teacher. I completed my Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership through the American College of Education in July of 2022, and am a professionally licensed Principal in the State of Colorado. I served as the Dean of the Grammar School at Golden View Classical Academy for three years, and taught there both as a Fifth Grade Teacher and an Eighth Grade Literature Teacher since 2015. This will be my 16th year as an educator, and I am thrilled to be joining Twin Peaks in my next chapter. I am excited to be a part of a school that offers so much to our students both academically and in moral development. The richness and beauty of the classical curriculum are unparalleled.
My husband and I met in college and have been married for 20 years. We have five beautiful children, one of whom attends CU Boulder and is studying Speech Pathology, and one of whom will begin Ft. Lewis in Durango to study Sports Medicine. The other three are still school-aged, and we’re excited to be a part of a new classical community.
In my spare time I love to read (My favorite book is Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes), spend time with my family, hike, and in the winter months my family and I take advantage of every opportunity that we can to snowboard in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. I am passionate about classical education for all students, and have made it my life’s work to provide the best books and the best ideas and conversation to anyone who seeks them. I love teaching and working with dedicated educators, and am committed to bringing my best every day.

As the school year approaches, we know you are planning and buying your back to school uniforms! We thought it would be a good time to send some reminders and updates. You can find the full K-8 and high school dress codes on our website here, https://www.twinpeaksclassical.org/page/dress-codes .
Some slight changes this year, we've added GREEN to the pants/skirts/shorts colors in order for students to participate in green pants Thursdays!
While not dress code, we have made a change with technology use. Smart watches are now falling under the same guidelines as cell phones and will need to be kept in backpacks and lockers during the course of the school day for all K-8 students. Thank you for helping us keep our classrooms distraction free!
These dress code items are not new, but with current fashion trends, they deserve a quick reminder! Pants need to be a front zipper and/or button-closure style pants, no leggings will be allowed as uniform pants. The dress code also states no denim and no jeans. We know this one can be tricky, so please make sure the pants appear to be uniform-style fabric and not faded or styled denim.
Our dress code is intended to bring out the best of our students and our community. Thank you for helping us have a great year! We can't wait to see everyone next week!

We welcome Mrs. Henrie, who is joining our Middle School English team!!
I am Dani Henrie and I am excited to be teaching 6th and 7th grade English at Twin Peaks Classical Academy. I hold a bachelor's degree in English Teaching and am currently pursuing my master's degree in Literacy. I started my teaching career as a 6th grade English teacher in 2002 and have loved every minute of it! Middle school is definitely my jam. Three of our four children have attended Twin Peaks, and our only regret is not finding out about it sooner! We deeply appreciate the curriculum and community, and I am thrilled to now be part of the Twin Peaks staff. I am excited to share my love of reading and writing with students, guiding them as they explore the profound depths of great literature as they develop their own ideas and voices. When I'm not in the classroom I enjoy reading, hiking, practicing yoga, baking, and spending time with my husband and our four children.

Welcome to Mrs. Wurth, our new secondary Science Teacher!
Mrs. Wurth is excited to be part of the Twin Peaks community. This is her 4th year teaching secondary science and she is thrilled to be at Twin Peaks Classical Academy.
While Mrs. Wurth was born in Colorado, she was raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. After high school she wanted to return to Colorado for college. She graduated with a degree in biochemistry at Regis University. She worked as a research assistant in a biomedical research lab at the University of Colorado for 8 years. She left research to raise her 4 children. It was during this time that Mrs Wurth realized teaching would allow her to use her science background and have a meaningful career while still supporting her family. She was able to complete her masters degree in education from Regis in 2020.
Mrs. Wurth lives with her husband and children in Longmont, CO. Daniel(22) is working towards becoming a paramedic/firefighter. Gianna (19 )is a sophomore at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, IA where she is studying nursing and plays basketball for the women’s team. Matthew(16) is a junior and Joey(10) is in 5th grade at Twin Peaks Classical Academy. Most of Mrs. Wurth’s free time is spent at her children’s sporting events. The Wurth family are huge basketball fans, in particular college basketball. Mrs. Wurth also enjoys cooking and working in her gardens.
Mrs. Wruth believes her role as a teacher is to guide students to become independent thinkers and take responsibility for their education. She believes students who have the skills to find information and think independently are more likely to be successful throughout their life. She believes all students are capable of success in the classroom and wants to cultivate an open, positive learning environment.
Saturday July 26th, Twin Peaks Classical Academy will have a booth at Glow Swim!🎉 We invite all of our new & current families to stop by and say hi.
Time: 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Location: Sunset Pool - 1900 Longs Peak Ave
We look forward to seeing you there! 🌟
Here's a big welcome to Tyler Wright, our new Middle School P. E. Teacher!!
Hello, Timberwolves Nation! My name is Tyler Wright and I go by Coach Tyler around these hallways. I have been the Facilities Manager here at TPCA for the past five years, and I am excited for my first year as Secondary P.E. Teacher. I have my Associates in Sports Management and I am currently enrolling in a Master’s Program for Sports Administration with an emphasis in Educational Leadership.
When I am not in the gym coaching our middle school and high school Boys Basketball teams, you can find me golfing, hiking, or spending time with my family! I enjoy traveling quite a bit, including frequent trips to Nevada to watch my favorite football team, the Las Vegas Raiders. My favorite sport is basketball, but I have a love for all sports that I think will shine through in all my P.E. classes. I am excited to get started!
Please help us welcome our new 3rd grade teacher, Taylor Caraballo!
My name is Taylor Caraballo, and I am in my third year of teaching. I have called the Longmont area home for most of my life. I graduated from the University of Wyoming in 2023 with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and a certificate in American Sign Language. I enjoy incorporating sign language into my classroom whenever possible. I enjoy math and science, and also sharing my love of children’s books through read-alouds — one of my favorites is “Where the Wild Things Are”. Outside of school, I love reading, crafting, cheering on my favorite sports teams, baking, paddle boarding, hiking, and spending time with my family and my two adorable pugs and cat.

Please join us in welcoming Ms. Whitehouse as our new registrar beginning this year!
Hi, my name is Candace Whitehouse. I’m a proud Colorado native and grew up right here in the area. I graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with a BA in Communication—Go Bears!
When I’m not working, I love spending time with my husband and our two daughters. We’re big fans of boating in the summer and enjoy traveling to other states to explore the larger lakes and waterways. In the winter, I’m always up for a good ski or sledding trip, but most days you’ll find me curled up with a good book and a heated blanket.
My girls and I are so excited to become Timberwolves and join the Twin Peaks community this year!
Let's give a big Timberwolf welcome to Wendy Hunt, new 1st grade teacher!

We'd like to issue a big Timberwolf welcome to Mr. Evan Beamis! We are thrilled to have him back on our team as our facilities manager.
Hello everyone, I'm Evan Beamis, and I am the new Facilities Manager here at Twin Peaks Classical Academy. I am so excited to be an official member of the faculty here. I am a sixth generation Colorado native, graduate of Arvada West High School, and an Army veteran. I first learned about TPCA through my previous job as a security contractor. Even after my first few days here on campus, I knew this was a special place, and that I wanted to be a part of this community. When the opportunity presented itself to be a full time member of the staff here, I jumped at the chance! I am so excited to see where this opportunity leads, and am proud to be a Timberwolf!
