Hi, my name is Brenda Johanson. This is my 12th year teaching and my 7th year teaching 1st grade. I previously taught Kindergarten for 5 years in Alaska. I have a passion for teaching young children. I have a young one myself who is in Preschool at CHE! Outside of school we love to read, swim, and fish. I look forward to a great year with you and your family!

Hello! I'm Jessica Ensminger and I'm so excited to be teaching 1st grade at Columbine Hills Elementary. This is my eighth year teaching, and my fourth year teaching in Colorado. Before moving to Colorado I taught Second Grade in Pennsylvania. I graduated college from the University of Miami with a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education. I am in my last year of my Masters program at CU Denver where I am studying Curriculum and Instruction with a specialty in Reading and Writing. I love teaching young students, but when I'm not at school I enjoy hiking, reading, and traveling.
