Meet the Principal
A Message From Principal Morgan
Greetings CLC Students and Families,
I am thrilled to be returning as the Principal at Connections Learning Center. I have worked in education for over twenty years at a variety of levels and types of schools. My background is rooted in mental health and special education as I have worked extensively as a school social worker and an Assistant Director of Special Education. I have served as a school Principal in JeffCo the past seven years and have found my home at CLC. I am committed to creating a culture of belonging, engagement, and achievement for our students. By anchoring in our vision: to create a community that is safe, inclusive, and empowered, I aim for every student to re-engage with school, see themselves as a learner, and to graduate. CLC isn't a stopping place; it's a launching place!

A Message From Assistant Principal Watkins
Dear CLC students and families,
My name is Ben Watkins and I will be the assistant principal this year at CLC. I am excited to make a change from Long View and Mount View where I have been serving those communities the last 3 years. In my time as an AP, I have been committed to creating environments where students can feel safe, included, and empowered while they learn to advocate for what they need while re-engaging with school and becoming better versions of themselves. I hope to guide students in connecting to their education and help them find their way to the best educational setting for them.
Ben Watkins
Assistant Principal, Connections Learning Center
