Travis Aldrich, currently the Vail Mountain School's upper school director, has been named the next head of school at Frisco's independent Peak School. He will replace the outgoing Steve Colemand and start the new role July 1.
The Peak School, an accredited, independent school in Frisco serving grades six through 12, recently announced the selection of Travis Aldrich as its third head of school to succeed the outgoing Steve Coleman following an extensive national search.
Aldrich is presently the upper school director at Vail Mountain School in Eagle County. He has worked in several independent schools since 1998, as an English and history teacher, admissions director, dean of students, as well as a middle school director for a school in California. For five years, he also served as a division director at three nationally recognized wilderness education camps.
The Peak's board of Trustees unanimously chose Aldrich after several final applicants visited the school and met with students, parents, faculty and staff.
Currently in its fifth year, Peak has 71 students. Aldrich is set to start his new role on July 1, and Coleman will return to his home on the East Coast after the fulfillment of his three-year contract.
