In this episode of Leadership Laps, we sit down with Kurtis Quig, Principal of Aurora Central High School, to celebrate a historic milestone - for the first time in more than 15 years, Aurora Central has achieved Improvement status on the Colorado School Performance Framework. In his fourth year as principal, Kurtis shares his journey to educational leadership, what he found when he arrived at Central, and the strategies that built a culture of commitment among students, staff, and families. He discusses the sustained effort required to lead a school through improvement, how to celebrate progress while maintaining ambitious goals, and what comes next as Central continues its upward trajectory. Kurtis's story demonstrates that with clear vision, persistent effort, and unwavering belief in community, transformation is possible - and as he says, 'Good. Better. Best!' - they're just getting started.
