Dr. Beverly Carbaugh and Tricia Simonsen, founding principal and assistant principal, respectively, along with 44 teachers and staff, opened Colleen Lunsford Bevis Elementary School in August of 2000. Dr. Carbaugh set high expectations for Bevis Elementary students and staff.
“As the charter principal of Colleen Bevis Elementary, our goal was to build a school where teachers and staff created a ‘wonderful world’ leading each student to maximize their potential as students and young citizens. Every person on our campus worked tirelessly to create an environment that showcased the value of each student and each staff member. Laying this groundwork has fostered a school that 25 years later is still a beautiful place to learn and work. Colleen Bevis Elementary continues to reflect the spirit and goals of its namesake, the late Mrs. Colleen Bevis. I am honored to be a small part of its stellar history.”
Simonsen is excited to share in the celebration of the school’s 25th year.
“For 25 years, and still going strong, Colleen Bevis Elementary continues to receive accolades at the local, state, and national level! Broncos are known for ‘Blazing a Trail to Success!’ This holds true with students and alumni continuously demonstrating academic excellence, top-notch current and past faculty, highly supportive families and PTA. Keep showing those Bronco traits!”
