As the new principal of Falcon Middle School, I am excited to work with my amazing teachers and staff to serve our students and families in the Falcon Zone. Although I am new to this role, I have worked for the previous 4 years as a grade level assistant principal and athletic director at FMS.
This year marks my 28th year in education, the majority of my time serving middle school students. Directly prior to working at Falcon Middle, I served another district for a couple years as a dean of students. Before that I was a middle school theatre teacher in Colorado Springs, Las Vegas, NV and Santa Fe, NM. I had the amazing opportunity to bring theatre to each school I taught at, developing a new theatre program for each of my former schools.
My family is deeply entrenched in the Falcon Zone. My husband and I have been married for 27 years and have 2 children. My husband is the head soccer coach for both boys and girls at FHS. Both of my children attended FMS and graduated from FHS. I am so thankful I am able to serve the community I live in and who have supported my children.

As principal of Bennett Ranch Elementary, I am looking forward to continuing to partner with parents, and build relationships with staff, students, and the community!
I am bringing more than 29 years of experience in education to this leadership position. My background includes teaching kindergarten through fourth grade in Arizona before relocating to Colorado to teach reading and English skills to elementary students. After serving as the Coordinator for English Language Development in District 49, I also spent two years as an assistant principal at Rocky Mountain Classical Academy. This will be my 5th year as Principal at Bennett Ranch Elementary, and I am looking forward to a great school year for all our Bennett Ranch Bulls!
My husband and I have been married for over 24 years, and we have two children. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities, playing cards, and watching movies.

Ed Kulbacki, Principal at Falcon Elementary School of Technology
Welcome to Falcon Elementary School of Technology. I am in my second year principal at FESoT and I have worked as an administrator for the past eleven years. In fact, I worked at FESoT for two years (2012-2014) as an assistant principal and I am excited about returning to our school.
I have lived in Falcon for the past 18 years with my wife, Staci, and our four daughters- Sierra, Ashley, Madison, and Taylor. All of our daughters have attended Falcon area schools and three have graduated from Falcon High School. We enjoy going hiking, going boating, and playing sports as a family.
I earned my Principal Licensure through the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and an MA in Education from the University of LaVerne. I have had the privilege of working as an English teacher for fifteen years as well and I have worked with students and teachers k-12. I believe that building strong readers is the key to supporting life-long learning.
I look forward to meeting you and learning about your student(s), while helping all of us grow during the elementary school experience.
Sincerely,
Ed Kulbacki

Hello Woodmen Hills Students and Families!
I love being a part of Tornado Nation! I was the Assistant Principal at WHES for two years before becoming the Principal in 2020. I continue to greatly value strong partnerships with each of you while serving the learning community as we engage, elevate, and enhance learning and teaching for our students and staff. You will often hear me share that Woodmen Hills Elementary is THE best school on earth. Our students, staff, and families are unlike any other - they genuinely care for one another, they rise above any challenge, and I feel so grateful to spend my days at our big school with a small neighborhood feel. Each year is no different as we remain united in one mission - whatever it takes for our kids.
I started my career with Westside Community Schools in Omaha, Nebraska before moving to Colorado. I then taught in Academy District 20 for 11 years before coming to WHES in 2018. During my time at WCS and D20, I taught elementary and middle school Physical Education, Kindergarten, 1st grade, and also spent several years as a Gifted Education Specialist, Response to Intervention Coordinator, Multi-Tiered Systems of Support Leader, and Facilitator of Student Growth.
I am small town Nebraska born and raised. My husband, two daughters, and I have called Falcon home since we moved here in 2007. In my time away from school, you will find our family outside – sometimes at an arena where our girls are competing in events on the back of their horses or at a baseball field somewhere across the nation.
Please reach out if you need anything - we are in this together!
