GOLD RUSH
CHARTER SCHOOL
​​​​​​​​Gold Rush Charter School has three different operational sites – the Country School (located on the Sullivan Creek campus-serving students in grades K-8), the High School campus (located on Village Drive), and the Independent Study suites (also located on Village Drive). Founded in 2001 by two educators, Kathleen Hansen and Eda Pardee, and a community member, James Gallno, Gold Rush Charter School was established with a goal to create a non-traditional program that would allow educators to focus on the individual needs of each student.

Administration consists of Traci Woelffer, Principal/Executive Director, and Jennifer Warren, Principal/Associate Director. Administration, along with all staff, strives to steward the mission and vision statements of Gold Rush Charter School through offering alternative options for students’ education and setting a platform for students to become life-long learners.
​
Gold Rush Charter School continues to grow as more and more families come to see the benefits of this unique program and appreciate the attention and care given to each individual learner. Gold Rush Charter School continues to push forward in areas of integrated technology, new learning methods, and creative, hands-on education.
