About Cassie Harrelson
I am thrilled to run for the Aspen School District Board of Education. Over my ninteen-years in education, I have fulfilled roles at the local, state, national, and international levels. Each of these experiences provided me with expert insight and understanding of the challenges and potential promises that our schools face today. I have had the privilege of supporting thousands of students, which allows me to best represent the needs of all children in Aspen Public Schools.
