Mr. Jim Leeper, Principal
Hello Boulder Creek community,
My name is Jim Leeper and I am the new principal for Boulder Creek Elementary. 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 kids. In my free time I enjoy being outdoors, mountain biking and seeing the Arizona scenery.
I am so proud to be principal of our school. We have 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 who helps foster our school vision through volunteering and classroom support.
I look forward to working with the Boulder Creek community and excited to see what the future holds for our school.
Sincerely,
Jim Leeper
Principal, Boulder Creek Elementary
