Dear Drake Middle School Parents and Community Members,
The Drake Middle School Principal Hiring Committee is pleased to announce the selection of Mindi Feir as the next principal of Drake Middle School. Following a rigorous interview process involving staff and community members, Mrs. Feir was chosen to lead the Drake School Community.
Mindi has been an educator for the past 20 years and all of her educational experiences have been in Jefferson County. Over those 20 years, she has served as a sixth grade teacher, an instructional coach, and a master teacher. For the past five years, she has served as the principal of Deane Elementary. During her time at Deane, Mindi has focused on creating a positive, welcoming climate and culture where students, staff, and families all come together for a common purpose – student success! The result of this work has resulted in Deane moving from an Improvement School to a Performance School as measured by the Colorado Department of Education.
Mindi is excited and prepared to be the new principal of Drake Middle School. She is passionate when it comes to working with students and being a part of their journey through life. Middle school can be a challenging time for many, and Mindi is committed to partnering with all stakeholders to support students both socially and academically, making the middle school experience one that students will never forget.
We are thrilled to welcome Mrs. Feir to her new position and are confident that she will provide outstanding leadership at Drake Middle School. She is recognized as a dedicated, positive, caring school leader. Advocating for students and their learning is her priority. Her skills as a strong communicator and supportive problem-solver will serve the Drake Middle School Community well. Drake’s strong reputation for excellence and continued partnership with the community will remain a focus under Mrs. Feir’s leadership.
We are currently working on setting up a parent/community meeting to welcome and congratulate Mrs. Feir on her new position as the principal of Drake Middle School. Dates and times will be forthcoming.
Respectfully,
Eric Everding
Community Superintendent
