Welcome New Faculty!

We’re excited to welcome an incredible group of new faculty to Steamboat Mountain School this year!

Each brings unique experiences, fresh ideas, and a shared commitment to the Steamboat Mountain School mission of inspiring courageous learners and engaged global citizens. From the classroom to the trails, they’re ready to connect with students, contribute to our vibrant community, and carry forward the spirit of adventure and excellence that defines SMS. We are also excited to welcome back Neta Kafka and Jack Kreisler who completed our Teachers in Residence program and are now full time faculty. Please join us in giving them a warm welcome!
