James Schoepflin

It is such an honor to be a part of the Bl. Miguel Pro Catholic Academy community and I can not tell you how excited I am to be able to serve the community this year.

I was born and raised in Arvada, CO attending Shine of St Anne Catholic School. After high school, I was hired as a police dispatcher and later as a police officer. I worked as a police officer for 10 years before being injured on duty and forced to medically retire. I continued to work in civilian law enforcement positions until 2018 when I was hired as the head of school safety and security in a public school district.

After two and a half years working in public school, I faced a moral dilemma as the ideology of public education was contradictory to my Catholic faith. I was hired at Bishop Machebeuf High School in 2021 as an Assistant Principal and then transitioned to the Director of Operations for the last two years before coming to Bl. Miguel Pro Catholic Academy

I have a Masters Degree in Education specializing in adult and special education from Regis University. I am married with four children. I am starting the second of four years of formation for the permanent diaconate in the Archdiocese of Denver.

I am excited to partner with parents and support our teachers and staff members in forming students to be Jesus Christ’s disciples.

Viva Cristo Rey!
