Middle School Team

Angela Nelson started her second year at RMCA with this being her eighteenth year of teaching. Angela has a passion for teaching conceptual mathematics and encourages all students to have a growth mindset. She believes that all students can learn ANYTHING! Angela and her husband, Ken, have been married for 26 years. They have been blessed with 3 children: Kenny, a freshman at Trinity University in San Antonio, TX, and twins, Conner & Cooper, sophomores at Vista Ridge High School. As a resident of northern Wisconsin for most of her childhood, Angela is an avid Green Bay Packer fan. 

As a strong believer in the classical approach, I am excited to be teaching at RMCA. This will be ninth year teaching and second year at RMCA. This is a wonderful school and I am proud to have my children enrolled here. I truly believe that children are lamps to be lit, not simply vessels to be filled.  When I am not in the classroom or off writing, you can find me spending time with the loves of my life- my family.  

Hello! This is my 3rd year as a Knight at RMCA; but my first year in middle school, which is sure to be an adventure! My husband and I have one child, a little boy who attends kindergarten with me here at RMCA. I love spending time with my family here in Colorado Springs in the great outdoors: hiking, stand up paddle boarding, and playing with our dogs, Queen Amidala and Albus Dumbledore. I am looking forward to another amazing year at RMCA working with the best kids and staff that there is!
