Dr. Deirdre Pilch, Superintendent of Schools and Theresa Myers, Chief of Communications from Greeley-Evans School District 6

Superintendent Dr. Deirdre Pilch and Chief of Communications Theresa Myers will present information about the District’s response to COVID-19, an update on the start of the 2020-2021 school year, and how bond projects are moving ahead. This includes the replacement of Greeley West High School, the renovation of McAuliffe STEM Academy, and more. Theresa Myers will also present a general update on District 6 and the projects and programs being funded through the mill levy override.

You asked to hear from our local school district so bring your questions and listening skills and prepare to be better informed! This is our chance to learn about the challenges educators and youth are facing while also celebrating the exciting successes our students are experiencing.

If you have been blessed with the opportunity to hear Dr. Pilch speak, you know she is no sissy! She has backbone and determination to face the things life presents and she does it with a smile on her face and a bounce in her step. Deirdre is a popular speaker, much in demand by this body of women! Many of us are mothers and grandmothers, we employ people with children and keeping up with what is happening inside our classrooms is important to us.

Come and learn how your tax dollars are being managed to enhance the learning within the District at every level. Maybe we will even get a quick peek at the new construction plans at GWHS, my former high school![/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
