Hello Twin Peaks community! I'm Amanda Tilley, and I'm so excited to be joining the team this year as a Special Needs Para. I've lived in Colorado my whole life, and my husband and I have called the Longmont/Frederick area home for the past 17 years. We have two wonderful daughters, ages 8 and 10. As a family, we love camping, and spending time outdoors. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone, building connections, and serving our amazing school community.
Q; Where can Twin Peaks seniors learn about colleges, find data on their likelihood of being admitted, and request letters of recommendation?
A: Our graduation planning platform, Scoir!
Q: If a college I'm interested in doesn't take applications from Scoir, what should I do?
A: Create a Common App account and apply there.
Q: Woah! I didn't realize how expensive applying to college can be. Any tips?
A: Yes! Colleges and universities in Colorado have free application days from October 20-22 of this year. You can write your whole application now and hit submit during free application days. Students who qualify for free/reduced lunch can request to apply for free on their application.
We welcome Asa Henderson, who is joining the pack as our 6th grade Math Teacher!
I’m excited to begin my K-12 teaching career at Twin Peaks Classical Academy. I’ll be teaching 6th grade math. I’m a former test prep teacher and tutor, and spent the last 14 years working in online learning and video production. I grew up in Boulder, and currently live in Longmont with my wife, 17-year old son, and our dog, Louie.
In my free time, I enjoy reading philosophy in a comfy chair, writing, and spending time with my family.

Hey Timberwolf Nation! I am very excited to join the Twin Peaks family. I am a fifth-generation Coloradoan, and my family has lived in Longmont for generations, so it has been special relocating back. My four kids — well, really three, since one is a 2026 graduate — are students at TPCA. I enjoy spending time with my family, reading a good book and anytime I can get away to the mountains, I do!

Hello! My name is Kali Galloway. I am excited to join the TPCA community this year as a kindergarten teacher. I taught for 7 years and took some time away from the classroom to start my family. I value communication and connection and am looking forward to getting to know the students and families at Twin Peaks.
I moved to Colorado from Missouri 11 years ago. We often travel back to visit. My husband Lee and I have 2 children, Hudson and Charlotte. We enjoy spending time with friends, enjoying good food on patios, and just relaxing at home with family.
Parents will meet in the Mehsling Center for a presentation on what to expect from the school and what to expect in this new stage. 6th graders will have a chance to meet with the Secondary Leadership team, spend some time with friends (or make some new ones), and get their schedule and locker ahead of the rush of Open House day. Please plan on joining us for a fun and informative evening!

Dear Twin Peaks Classical Academy community,
What another amazing year at Twin Peaks Classical Academy! As the school year has come to a close, I wanted to thank all of you for the opportunity to lead this school. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found a community in which I feel I truly belong. My husband and I are eternally grateful that our children are able to attend such an amazing school and have so many wonderful people in their lives.
As we begin to transition to the 2026 -2027 school year, I thought I would take a moment to highlight some of the accomplishments this school year and bring attention to some summer projects you will notice in the fall when you return!
Academic Highlights
We had 75 students complete 132 AP exams this spring- a new school record!
Our iReady data indicates that our students performing at or above grade level in math increased from 27% to 63%.
iReady data also indicates that our students performing at or above grade level in reading increased from 46% to 68%.
Financial Highlights
We worked on and acquired grant and donation dollars in excess of $150,000.
Due to wise fiscal management, we were able to accomplish the roof resurfacing project, exterior paint, new signage, and the fencing project in the South parking lot without withdrawing any dollars from reserves.
Athletic and Activities Highlights
Our high school programs reached the Colorado State competitions in Men’s Basketball, Track and Field, Cross Country, Choir, Band, and Orchestra.
Timberwolf Thursdays drastically increased the number of extracurricular activities and opportunities for our elementary students.
We hosted our first ever state playoff game for our Men's basketball team in our facility requiring finding additional bleachers to accommodate the crowd.
Our spring musical had a record number of student participants and record breaking attendance.
Community Highlights
We have hosted over 250 new families for tours since the beginning of the year.
Our school has been represented at more community events than ever before.
We accomplished a school evacuation and student reunification with no major hiccups.
Our incoming senior class is boasting 50 students! Our largest graduating class ever!
This summer, we are updating the exterior of the building. You will notice the fresh paint and the new signage, but you may not notice the biggest project- the new roof! The west side of the roof is being resurfaced and is much needed. Hopefully, we will have no more leaks or floods!
Next year, I plan to bring back coffee with the director on a regularly occurring basis and to continue to strive to increase events that create more opportunities for human connection and community involvement.
This has been a wonderful year and we are grateful that you chose to be a part of Twin Peaks Classical Academy. We look forward to seeing you at some of our summer events and especially at our Popsicles with the Principals on June 25th at 5PM! Be on the lookout for our summer communications regarding back-to-school events- including some brand new ones!
Go Timberwolves,
Ms. Burns
