For nearly 40 years, Jonathan Herring has pursued his passion of education as a teacher, administrator, and principal in bigger cities such as Kansas City and Las Vegas.
On Aug. 1, he’ll take over in rural Northwest Colorado at Sandrock Elementary, hoping to make a lasting impact on the elementary school in Moffat County School District.
Herring, who was born and raised in Colorado Springs, left Colorado to pursue a teaching opportunity in Missouri, where he stayed for eight years before landing in the Clark County School District in Las Vegas, where he stayed for the last 30 years.
