Aspen High School is an amazing place to work and teach. We have an amazing Principal (Sarah Strassburger) and an equally amazing AP (Becky Oliver) as of this year 2020-21 who not only got us through a pandemic but also retained 98% of the staff. This is due to them being the most supportive and innovative administrators anyone could ask for in public education. We have recently begun equity work led by Sarah and she has once again proved to be fearless, strong and unwavering in her belief that we need systems, language and opportunities that support ALL learners. Prior to this year, there was inequity and we are actually doing something about it now. I love this place and love everyone who works here!
I could not have asked for a better high school experience. The faculty, staff, and administrators form a cohesive team conducive to an excellent learning environment. The curriculum is demanding but there is a lot of room for intellectual and personal exploration. The support I received from everyone is incredible. I feel extremely well prepared for Harvard. The ex-Ed program will forever be my favorite experiences because of how much I learned about nature and about myself in addition to the deep, meaningful friendships I was able to make. Thank you for shaping me into the person I am AHS!
Experiential education programs and school's participation with International Baccalaureate were two of the most valuable parts of going to school here. In terms of teachers, some were amazing and some were lackluster. Some teachers literally showed us tv shows when they didn't want to teach. I had at least one teacher who was not committed and didn't care each year. The music program was extremely lacking and was one of the biggest disappointments. Sports are emphasized but music has little funding, participation, and encouragement. The school culture was very focused around partying and drugs and popularity/ image which I did not like. There was also a lot of change in the administration... I had 3 different principles in my 4 years there. Although the college counseling and readiness program was strong, it put too much focus on college as the end-all be-all and shamed students who didn't follow that path.
