About The Teacher

My name is Kristy Collins, and I will be teaching the Third/Fourth HGT class. I have taught for 28 
years, (all in DPS) and I have loved the past seven years at Southmoor in the HGT program.  Because 
of the children I am privileged to teach, I don't see myself hanging up the hat for a few more years.
 

I am an avid Buffs fan. I, my husband Tom, my brother and sister-in-law, my niece, and my daughter 
Katie and son Kevin are University of Colorado graduates.  I will attempt to be a little less jingoistic 
about CU, but I make no promises!


I feel that I am a life-long learner.  I will take about any training offered.  I used to think that Literacy 
and History were my favorite subjects to teach, but I have now decided that Math and Science are 
really cool too.  I hope to pass a love of learning on to your children.

My household consists of Tom and three pups:  Maggie the beagle, Copper the beagle, and now Kelly, 
the beady eyed monster.  Be prepared to hear lots of stories!  PLease remember the old adage:  I'll 
believe half of what I hear from your child, if you believe half of what they tell you about me.(:
