Michelle Isham
Art, Middle School Encore Team Lead
Hello families, I am in my fifth year of teaching art, and I love helping middle school students explore their creativity. As a mom of three children who have attended or currently attend RMCA, I love our school community and the philosophies we value. When I'm not in the classroom, I enjoy exploring the Colorado mountains, where I find that being in nature is a refreshing and inspiring way for me to recharge.

My name is Davian Askew. Originally from Georgia, I mostly grew up and attended school in Colorado Springs. I graduated from Colorado College in 2012 with a Bachelor's in Spanish and then UCCS in 2014 with a Master's in Education. I have been with RMCA since 2014 as a K-5 and 6-8 Latin/Spanish teacher (7 years) and then/currently as a 6-8 Leadership teacher and director of the boy's choir. My passion for helping and supporting others and their growth runs deep and I strive to demonstrate it every day and in every way possible.

My name is Matthew Foster, and I am so excited for this new school year here at RMCA! This is my sixth year here at RMCA, and it is my thirteenth year teaching overall. I am originally from Boston, Massachusetts, but have been living here in Colorado Springs since I was five years old, growing up right down the street from this school. I have my bachelor's degree from UCCS, as well as a master's degree in Sport Administration from the University of Northern Colorado. I am a huge Boston and most of Colorado sports fan, especially baseball and hockey (Go Avs!). In my free time I love exploring the outdoors, traveling, especially to National Parks, playing guitar and piano, and spending time with family. I cannot wait to get this school year started!
