Head of School Message

Happy Summer, Caprock Academy!

 

Many members of the Caprock Academy community know me, and some may not yet. My name is Matt Diers, and I will be serving as the Interim Head of School for Caprock Academy during the 2025–2026 school year. I previously served in this role for six months at the end of the 2023–2024 school year. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I have been asked by the Caprock Academy Board of Directors to once again assume this role.

 

Let me begin by saying it was an honor and privilege to previously serve the Caprock Academy community, and I look forward to supporting this unique educational environment in the year ahead.

 

As we look toward the 2025–2026 school year, our staff faces a number of important challenges this summer. Our top priority is recruiting and hiring staff to fill all currently vacant positions. That process is ongoing and is a key focus for myself and the administrative team. The next priority is preparing for the start of the school year on July 21. Much of that planning was already underway before I returned, but we are now working to finalize those details.

 

My goal over the next year is to help position Caprock Academy for continued success. That success depends on the dedicated efforts of our staff, the engagement of our students, and the support of our parent community. No school thrives because of just one person—it truly takes all of us, “the village,” to support, engage, and build upon the success that Caprock Academy has earned and is recognized for throughout the Grand Valley.

 

I look forward to reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting new families in the Caprock Academy community during the upcoming school year.

 

Please feel free to stop by the office anytime for a visit and a cup of coffee.
