Meet the Principal

It is my honor to serve as the principal of Rose Stein International! The 2024-2025 school year will be my 4th year in this role and I am grateful to continue this work alongside our families, students, and staff.

Having dedicated my entire career to education within Jeffco Public Schools, I bring experience as a former elementary classroom teacher, special education learning specialist, affective needs center program teacher, and building administrator. It has been a privilege to serve in these roles throughout the Alameda community, with most of my experience right here at Rose Stein.

As a leader, my passion lies in serving the whole child. I believe in supporting the unique needs of each student so that they can reach their full potential both academically and socially. At Rose Stein we believe in a high level of academic instruction partnered with social emotional instruction and building-wide restorative practices.

Together, as the Rose Stein community, we will create an educational environment where students excel academically, grow personally and cultivate a lifelong love for learning. I am confident that with our dedication and shared commitment to excellence, we can unlock limitless possibilities for our students and ensure their success.

With gratitude,
Melissa Girard

Principal, Rose Stein International
