About Ms. Laurel Pate

I am currently Park Elementary's Assistant Principal.  I received my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from the University of Central Florida in 2008.  I earned a Master’s degree in Curriculum & Instruction with an emphasis in  Mathematics in 2012 and then completed the Educational Leadership program at Regis University in Denver in 2017. I have taught 3rd, 4th and 5th grades. Before joining the 9R team in 2017, I was a Math Instructional Coach and Facilitator for Denver Public Schools.

 

In my free time, I enjoy rock climbing, hiking, skiing and spending time with loved ones, including my handsome shepherd/pit mix, Koa.

 

As a teacher, watching students come to see themselves as mathematicians was incredibly rewarding. As a leader, I love supporting teachers to grow in their very important craft and helping students grow both academically and in their character.

Park is a great place to be and I feel so lucky to have landed here!
