Ms. Mary Vogelsberg

Instrumental Music Director
Highlands Ranch High School
A message from Ms. Vogelsberg:
“I wanted to take a moment to share some personal news with you. After much thought and consideration, I have made the decision that I will not be returning to Highlands Ranch High School for the next school year. I have been accepted into a master’s degree program and I am excited to take this next step in my professional and personal life. While I am looking forward to this opportunity, it is bittersweet to step away from a program and community that means so much to me. Working with all of you has been incredibly meaningful and I will truly miss the students very much. I am so grateful for the dedication, hard work, and passion they bring every day. As well as the continued support from our families and community. It has truly been a privilege to teach, perform, and grow alongside you. I am very proud of everything we have accomplished together and I will carry those memories with me.. I encourage you to continue with music and find joy in music each day. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your musical journey.”
