Building Stronger Communities Together

We're committed to helping your community fully engage in the opportunities that come with real high-speed internet. That’s why we created HighlineCares, a program that helps raise funds to enable everyone to participate in these opportunities.

Ashley Silva has been an Exceptional Student Services teacher in the Life Skills Program for more than 13 years. She also coaches Unified Bowling and Basketball. She is currently running a Spread the Word campaign to promote inclusivity. She loves attending music concerts and traveling in her spare time. Her favorite part of teaching is seeing students progress. Pueblo West High School is fortunate to have Ms. Silva on our staff and we appreciate her dedication very much. 

This month in Dickinson County, we have an extra SPECIAL teacher to announce! Our teacher of the month winner is Brian Olson of Kingsford High School! Brian teaches Physics, Math, and Science. He started his career in education with science and went back to add Math. He started his career in education with teaching science and went back to include a degree to teach Math. He has been teaching for 18 years in the Dickinson County School District. He taught the first six years of his career at North Dickinson School and the past 12 years at Kingsford. As if teaching three subjects was not enough, in 2018 he added “Robotics Mentor” to his list. When Brian was asked what he likes best about teaching he replied, “Student Interactions, dealing with the good and the bad.” Talk about impact, connection and interactions teachers like Brian have with their students, Brian was nominated by three students. He must be doing something right to have them take the time to nominate him for Teacher of the Month. We asked him what inspired him to choose teaching as a career and if there was anything else he would like people to know he replied, “I had two teachers inspire me to choose teaching as a career. I’d like people to know if you’re looking at entering the teaching field it is a rewarding and fulfilling career.” So, this month, please tell a teacher “Thank you”—and please tell Brian Olson THANK YOU, for all he has done to help shape the thinkers and visionaries of our future.

We are so “hoppy” to have teachers like Ms. Sandra Rogers in our community! She is “egg-stra” special and even taught a few of our employees. 

Ms. Rogers, our teacher of the month for March, began her teaching career in 1988 after graduating from Mercer University. She taught in the Thomaston Upson County School System for nearly 30 years.

In 2019, Ms. Rogers joined Skipstone Academy as a math teacher for fourth and fifth graders. She enjoys building relationships with students and loves watching them grow in their faith.

Helping students feel safe and confident at school is her priority. “I always want to be an advocate for my students to succeed and hope they leave feeling loved and encouraged,” Ms. Rogers said. In her spare time, Ms. Rogers enjoys gardening, traveling and cooking with her daughters and granddaughters. Thank you, Ms. Rogers, for showing your students loving care and so much kindness.
