Mile High Academy

As we prepare for the 2026–2027 school year, we’re excited to share a few faculty updates!

Jason DuBose will be transitioning from 5th grade to our Middle School team, where he will teach Bible and History.

We’re also pleased to welcome two new educators to Mile High Academy:
• Bayli Hold – 5th Grade Teacher (top picture)
• Isaac Avila – Upper School Science Teacher (bottom picture)

We are grateful for the dedicated teachers God continues to bring to MHA and look forward to the impact they will have on our students, families, and school community. Please join us in welcoming them to the Mustang family!

The MHA School Board has announced that Principal Andrew Carpenter will be transitioning to the role of Assistant Superintendent for the Rocky Mountain Conference. We are grateful for his leadership and wish him God’s blessings in this new chapter.

We are excited to share that RD Gallant has accepted the position of Principal for the 2026–2027 school year. Many in our community already know and appreciate his impact as our Upper School Bible teacher and chaplain, and we look forward to his leadership in this new role.

We also extend our gratitude to Vice Principal Jessica Gleason as she begins a new journey as a teaching principal in Hawaii.

Please join us in congratulating Andrew, RD, and Jessica as they follow God’s leading into these new opportunities. We are excited for the future of Mile High Academy!

MHA Innovation Capstone Projects | Day 3

Innovation can also be a way to serve others.

Daven created 3D printed human anatomy models to take on a mission trip to Indonesia, where he will be speaking at two schools that have limited educational resources. The models will help students learn concepts they may not otherwise have access to.

Working alongside Daven, Noel designed and printed toy helicopters for children at the schools to enjoy.

We love seeing our students use their talents, creativity, and compassion to impact others both locally and around the world.

MHA Innovation Capstone Projects | Day 2

Our students are using technology and innovation to make a real difference.

Rachel and Taryn designed and 3D printed fidget toy animals to raise money for World Food Program USA. Through their sales, they raised $220 to help fight hunger around the world.

Danny, Joey, and Cam created a security system for the school cafeteria that detects motion, activates a camera, and sends alerts when products are removed. The system can also be controlled remotely based on the school’s needs.

Ashtin, Paxton, and Layten designed and 3D printed toys that were sold in the Innovation Lab Store. Their efforts raised $152 to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

These projects challenged students to think creatively, work collaboratively, and apply their learning in meaningful ways.

This week we are excited to highlight some of the incredible Innovation Capstone Projects created by our MHA students.

Students in Physical Science & Technology and Robotics used the skills they learned throughout the year to solve problems, serve others, and make an impact in their communities through hands-on projects.

Day 1 | Creativity & Innovation

Alaina designed, laser cut, and stained a custom mountain nature artwork installation for the children’s wing at (LifeSource Adventist Fellowship). The project included four detailed wooden panels featuring trees, birds, animals, and mountain scenery.

Tristian, Logan, and Connor designed, 3D printed, and assembled a drone that can help measure weather conditions for a researcher in the Denver area.

We are proud of the creativity, problem-solving, and purpose our students brought to these projects.

Tonight we celebrate our 8th graders as they reach an exciting milestone and prepare for the journey ahead. We are proud of the growth, friendships, memories, and accomplishments of the MHA Class of 2026.
