Administration

Kristi Glaze
Kristi studied Family and Child Development at Auburn University, but her true passion has always been dance and theater. She has worked professionally in these areas and has taught in many studios and educational settings. Kristi and her husband, Scotty, enrolled three out of their four boys at The University School in 2009 and her role at the school has grown progressively since that time. In addition to being the Theater Director at USCO, in recent years she has worked at the front desk and then joined the administrative team in 2020. Outside of school, she enjoys spending time with her family, skiing, traveling, her rose garden, going to the theater, watching Auburn football, her dogs, and all things pink!

Heather Johnson
Heather earned her BA in Biology from CU Boulder with an emphasis in Sports Medicine and Leadership. Her husband, Branon, graduated from dental school in 1999. After spending 15 years focusing on their kids, she spent 12 years running their 2 family practices. Two of their 3 children graduated from USCO. She first got involved in the school as the assistant director of the theater department in 2018. She then spent time at the front desk before joining the administrative team in 2021. As a new empty-nester, she enjoys being at USCO with amazing students and staff. She loves being a grandma, reading, watching Colorado Avalanche games, photography, live music, and theater.

Matt Elliott
Matt spent 16 years working full-time with students (including eight in a Christian school setting), and he has served churches as a worship leader since the 90’s as well. Matt has a passion for Jesus, students and families, and tacos of all types (with a Diet Coke, preferably). He believes that following Christ should manifest itself with great love and joy. All three of his young adult children have attended University School. Matt joined the staff of USCO in 2021, and joined the administrative team in 2022.
