My name is Julie Couch and I am a graduate of Fort Lewis College in Durango. I began teaching in 1990. Almost all of my teaching experience has been in the primary grades. I am married with three children and seven grandchildren. My eighth grandchild is due in February. I love spending time with my family and friends! We are a big sports family. We love the Broncos, Avalanche, Rockies, CSU Rams, and the KU Jayhawks. My daughter graduated from the University of Kansas this past spring and she is attending the University of Kansas Law School beginning this fall. I have been at Centennial Elementary since they opened in 2008. I was a member of the planning committee to open the school, and I have taught kindergarten every year since we opened. I am very blessed to be part of the Centennial community!
