Assistant Principal-Middle School

Hello Rocky Mountain Classical Academy Community! I am honored and privileged to work at RMCA and serve it’s students, staff, and community as the Middle School Assistant Principal. I am a proud dad of two beautiful daughters, Sophie and Ella and have a wonderful wife, Clare. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing and watching sports, hiking, and enjoying the great Colorado outdoors! I look forward to meeting and working with all of our students and families. Please stop by and say hello!

Hello! My name is Amber Kettinger and this is my 7th year at RMCA. I am thrilled to be one of the Deans of Students for 5th through 8th grade and an S2S sponsor. I am originally from Tampa, Florida where I attended the University of South Florida for my Undergraduate Studies in Biomedical Sciences and Psychology. I then attended the University of Phoenix, Tampa Campus, for my Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education and am currently obtaining my Master of Science in Educational Leadership. My husband is a helicopter pilot in the United States Army Reserves and a civilian Air Traffic Controller here in Colorado Springs. We have two wonderful children, Mackenzie and Jackson, who also attend RMCA. We are a family that loves being outdoors, soaking up the sunshine, attending sports games, and traveling the world while immersing ourselves in new cultures and making lifelong memories.

Academic Counselor

Aloha!  What an honor to be in my third year here at RMCA!  This is my 17th year as a school counselor, and RMCA Middle School is still the PERFECT place for me to meet and work with the most incredible young people and their families!!  When I'm not at school, my husband and I enjoy watching football, baseball, and an occasional hockey game.  (I'm also a big Disney fan!)  AND, we LOVE being Puna and Papa to five beautiful grand-babies (two here in Colorado Springs and three in Arizona)!  I am SO excited about this 2019/20 school year!

3rd, 4th, & 5th Grade Counselor
Hello! This is my first year at RMCA and I am so grateful to be working with an amazing and supportive team in a field I am deeply passionate about. I am a Colorado native and attended The Classical Academy. I completed my bachelor’s degree in Sociology at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs and then went on to obtain my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Colorado Christian University. When I’m not working with the most amazing students at RMCA, you can find me hanging out with my family or with my pup Gus. I also enjoy traveling, singing, and volleyball!
