Carrie A. Olson is a 6th--8th grade teacher at Kepner Middle School in Denver, Colorado who has been teaching in Denver Public Schools since 1985. Currently, she teaches electives for students who want to participate in academic travel to Washington, DC, and Europe, and a Literacy Skills class at each grade level for students who need to improve their reading and writing skills. In her classes she teaches the Holocaust to students who otherwise would not receive this education.
Carrie is the founder and executive director of the Kepner Educational Excellence Program (KEEP), a nonprofit organization that assists in funding students’ academic journeys to Washington, DC and Europe as well as providing significant other support at Kepner, including funding the KEEP Work Program for students taking the academic travel electives, providing mini-grants for use by the school staff and supporting a specialized professional development program for the faculty.
