Michelle Hogan
Adult Education Instructor
I teach Language Arts during the HISET program and assist students with job preparation in the HIRE II program. I am excited every day to come to work and make an impact on the lives of our students. I love that CEO is focused on helping individuals improve their skills and providing them with an opportunity to succeed in life. I truly believe there is power in being a lifelong learner. When a student overcomes an obstacle, there is a powerful change in their perception on life. This is “lightning in a bottle” and it cannot be measured.

I am the GED instructor at TGTHR in Boulder. Teaching GED is the culmination of a life well lived. The identifying thread through most of my life has been to recognize opportunity and facilitate transitions in others. TGTHR is a perfect fit!
Justin Reding

I teach math to students seeking an HSE certification, assist students with finding employment, and provide guidance for career navigation. My role as a teacher in Greeley is rewarding because a real difference can be made in students’ perceptions toward mathematical problem solving skills. I strive to achieve student development and- in turn- the students inspire me to be the best possible educator I can be.

Tim Willis
Adult Education Instructor
I teach language arts and assist with the HIRE program. I hope my students will leave my lessons with a better understanding of English in order to pursue satisfying jobs in the community. I like teaching language skills to students enrolled in CEO classes in order for them to pass the GED tests so that they will earn a higher income through better employment with their language abilities and education credentials.
Jonathan St. Onge
Adult Education Instructor
I am the Language Arts Instructor in Adams County. I'm honored to be a part of CEO's mission in fostering educational and employment opportunities for this vulnerable population. A successful student is someone that not only obtains their GED certificate, but also comes away from this program believing in themselves as much as I believe in them. Their success is my success.
Gina Hill
Employment Readiness Specialist
I am the Employment Readiness Specialist at the Adams County site. I'm responsible for guiding students through our HIRE program and assisting them with gaining skills for employment. I enjoy helping clients find the resources they need to transition successfully back into the workforce. I believe people are our greatest resource and CEO truly supports that vision.

I help our clients obtain their high school diplomas and better prepare them to reenter the workforce through job readiness training and career navigation at the ICCS Greeley facility. I like working with Community Educational Outreach because of the population we serve. I enjoy uplifting my students and looking for new ways to improve the lives of those we serve.
Chris Ward

I work as a math instructor and help clients with job readiness training in our HIRE program. The clients that I've worked with unanimously express a great deal of gratitude for the work we do and the assistance we offer. When a student overcomes a difficult educational or employment related obstacle, there is a very obvious moment of pride as well as an impression of restored agency that is incredibly fulfilling to witness as an educator, mentor, and human.
