I’m John Mark, Site Director at Vanguard East Classical 

I am originally from South Louisiana. I have a B.S. in Child and Family Studies from LSU. After completing my Bachelors, I began working towards becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), finding myself in Colorado. I am a current third year graduate student finishing a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, specializing in the child and adolescent age. I decided to pursue a degree that would allow me to help children and adolescents become more successful students, aid in effective decision making, and inspire them to do their personal best. STARS allows me to reach my personal and professional goals while having some fun while we’re at it! I am excited to work with all of the students and families at Vanguard East! Go Hawks!
