Dear TPCA Community,
The Board of Directors voted this morning to hire Alycia Burns as the next Executive Director of Twin Peaks Classical Academy beginning formally in August of 2025.
I describe Mrs. Burns as my right hand. She has been my designated emergency successor for the last four years. Ours is a true partnership and she already has been trained in many aspects of the Executive Director's job. She has informally assumed more than a few of my duties already. Having Mrs. Burns designated as the next Executive Director this far in advance will provide an almost seamless transition of leadership for Twin Peaks Classical Academy. I have no doubt Mrs. Burns is the right individual to propel Twin Peaks Classical Academy forward.
Joe Mehsling, Executive Director

Good Afternoon TPCA Community -
The TPCA high school Principal, David Yu resigned his position. With only four months left in the school year I am not going to replace that position and will combine the middle and high school principals into one position; the Secondary Principal. The TPCA Secondary principal is Alycia Burns. She will speak with the High School students during Seminar today. Max Kleber, will take over the Behind the Classical Curtain for Parents sessions. Other tasks that Mr. Yu performed will be divided amongst the leadership team to ensure the smoothest transition we can for your students. As usual, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
Joe Mehsling
We are excited to bring you our "Explore, Read More" Literacy night soon. In preparation, we ask that any good or better condition books that you can donate to our book walk be placed in the collection box in the lobby. Thank you!
Dear TPCA Community,
Last evening the TPCA Board of Directors unanimously chose Alycia Burns as the sole finalist for the Executive Director position, starting at the beginning of the 2025-26 school year. The Board of Directors spent an immense amount of time over the last four months developing the process of searching and hiring Mr. Mehsling’s replacement. Three separate committees each had a role in the process. The Screening Committee vetted fourteen external and internal candidates and moved select candidates to the Advisory Committee. The Advisory Committee made up of Board Members, Parents, and Faculty interviewed candidates with the charge to move forward candidate(s) ready to serve as TPCA’s next Executive Director. The entire Board of Directors interviewed the candidate at length before voting to approve Mrs. Burns as the sole finalist.
C.R.S. § 24-6-402(3.5) provides in part, “the state or local public body shall make public the finalist or finalists under consideration for the position of chief executive officer no later than fourteen days prior to appointing or employing a finalist to fill the position.” TPCA’s website has more information regarding Mrs. Burns under the News Section. State statute requires that when an applicant becomes a finalist, all records submitted by the applicant shall be available for public inspection.
Kristina Zeh, President Twin Peaks Classical Academy Board of Directors
Matthew Menza, Vice-President Twin Peaks Classical Academy Board of Directors
