Meet Our Director

Hello! My name is Courtney Black, and I am the director at HighPointe Academy. With more than 30 years of experience in education, I am passionate about creating nurturing and engaging learning environments for young children. I began my career in early childhood education at 16 years old, later expanding my expertise into K-12 leadership before returning to early childhood five years ago. I have served as head of school and executive director at two Montessori schools, as well as principal and assistant principal in Aurora and Denver Public Schools, focusing on student success, staff development, and building strong school communities.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in early childhood education and a Master of Arts in elementary education from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. I also hold a Professional Principal License for the state of Colorado, demonstrating my commitment to educational leadership. Originally from Aurora, my love for education is deeply rooted in my community, where I have dedicated my career to supporting students, teachers, and families. I believe the early years are foundational for lifelong learning and am committed to creating an environment where children feel safe, valued, and inspired to explore the world around them.

Beyond my professional life, I have been married for 31 years and am a proud mother to a 21-year-old daughter. As both an educator and a parent, I understand the importance of trust in early childhood education and strive to ensure every family feels confident and supported in their child’s journey. I am excited to lead HighPointe Academy and look forward to working alongside our dedicated staff and families to create a thriving, enriching community for all.
