Welcome New Staff
Jeff Gould, Campus Security Specialist
I am from Aurora, Colorado. My wife, Julia, and I have an almost 2 year old daughter names Wrenleigh and we have an 18 year old son named Jacob. We also have 7 dogs and 6 chickens!
I love to train my dogs, ride my motorcycle, and go fishing! My favorite foods are Mexican and hamburgers. I also love to watch Hell's Kitchen, military movies, and listen to country music.
I'm really excited about getting to know the faculty and students at Mountain View. And, working together to provide a safe learning environment!
Congratulations Ms. Jessica Kane for being a DCSD Rock Star!

PLC - Did you know?
At the heart of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) is a focus on student learning. Teachers in a PLC work together to identify key learning objectives and develop strategies to help all students achieve these goals. This collective effort leads to more targeted instruction and better student outcomes.
