Principal's Message

Welcome to Dry Creek!

At Dry Creek, we are proud to blaze a new TRAIL through Teamwork, Respect, Acting Safely, Integrity, and Leadership. These values shape a positive, inclusive culture where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Our strong partnership among educators, parents, and families creates a supportive environment where students learn, grow, and belong.

Students engage in rigorous academics within a collaborative, open-concept setting, paired with social-emotional learning that builds empathy, resilience, and problem-solving skills. We challenge students to think critically, explore perspectives, and stay curious-fostering a true love of learning.

I am grateful to partner with you in supporting your children and making a positive impact together. I look forward to learning alongside our staff, students, and community as we continue to make Dry Creek an exceptional place to grow.

Originally from Indiana, I have proudly served in the Cherry Creek School District for over 20 years, and I am especially honored to now be in my third year as principal at Dry Creek. My husband, Paul, and I have two young children, and I understand the importance of communication and partnership. Please know my door is always open; I welcome the opportunity to connect.

As we head into the new school year, I am excited for all we will accomplish together!

Your partner in education,

Kelly Park
