Meet our Principal
Karen Barker
I was born in Chicago and my family relocated to Applewood when I was 3 years old. After graduating from Wheat Ridge High School, I attended Metropolitan State College and received my Bachelor’s in Elementary Education in 1988, and my Master’s in Educational Administration and Supervision from the University of Phoenix in 1992. A fun fact about me is I grew up raising, riding, and training horses. I spent my childhood riding with the Westernaires. I am looking forward to a great year of learning for me, teachers and students as we implement our new literacy curriculum.
