Mr. Jim Leeper, Principal
It is my pleasure to be the principal of Boulder Creek! Before arriving at Boulder Creek in 2020, I was principal of Meridian Elementary in Gilbert Public Schools for 6 years. Prior to Meridian, I worked in the Mesa school district for 20 years as a teacher, dean of students, and assistant principal.
I grew up in Mesa, attended ASU and took my first job in education teaching junior high PE. I coached track for 13 years, freshman tennis for 7 years and high school cross country for 2 seasons. I’m married and live in Gilbert with my wife and children. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, mountain biking and seeing the Arizona scenery.
Boulder Creek has a dedicated staff who work diligently to ensure students are receiving the best learning opportunities. We have an active PTSO that supports our school vision. We have a community that helps foster our school vision through volunteering and classroom support.
Our vision statement is “Every Student Matters, Every Moment Counts.” Our staff genuinely cares for our students, and expects students’ best efforts every day. Go Bulldogs!
Sincerely,
Jim Leeper
Principal, Boulder Creek Elementary
