Brian Alex, building engineer at Peakview Elementary, not only keeps the building safe for students to learn, but has truly embodied Cherry Creek’s Core Value of Relationships. Brian’s strong relationships with students make him a CCSD Hero Award recipient.
“This is my 23rd year in education and I have never seen a building engineer so committed to what’s best for kids,” said Peakview Elementary Principal Julie Saurberg. “Yes, he keeps the building clean and safe, but the most important thing is that he loves kids. He joins us for assemblies, he’s in the cafeteria talking with kids, and sometimes he’s their safe adult in the building that they can talk to. He definitely is very deserving of the Cherry Creek Hero award.”
Brian has worked for Peakview Elementary for 8 years, and Cherry Creek Schools for 12 years.
“I’ve never had a better job in my life. The time off that I get is awesome, but the time that I’m here, I have never been thanked more or appreciated more, ever,” said Brian. “You saw the kids giving me high-fives and hugs, and that’s a daily thing for me. And it makes me happy, extremely happy.”
“Brian, Cherry Creek Schools and the students at Peakview are incredibly lucky to have you looking out for them,” said Superintendent Christopher Smith. “You embody what it means to be a Cherry Creek Hero, thank you.”
Brian is known around school for his positivity and his legendary high-fives.
“Brian is a wonderful person, deep down to his core,” said educator Nicole Rangel. “Our students think the world of Mr. Brian and never pass up an opportunity for one of his famous high-fives. Without fail, Brian is readily available to assist at a moment’s call. Need something heavy moved? Out of paper towels? Snow is covering the playground slides. A student got sick in the classroom. No worries, because Brain is on the way to save the day; and you can rest assured he’ll be wearing a smile when he arrives. Peakview Elementary runs smoothly because of our hero, Mr. Brian Alex!”
Thank you, Brian, for your dedication to the safety and well-being of Peakview Elementary students!
