Pueblo Regency

My name is Candice Montoya, and I am proud to serve as the Assistant Principal for our wonderful site located on the south side of Pueblo. I have been in education for over 20 years, beginning my career as an elementary school teacher right here in Pueblo, Colorado.

From a very young age, I found myself drawn to leadership. As early as my second year in education, I was serving as a team lead and department lead—roles that deepened my commitment to guiding others and supporting student success. Leadership has always been my pathway, and it continues to be my passion today.
In 2011, I joined GOAL High School as an Academic Coach, later becoming a Teacher, and now serving as Assistant Principal. It has been a wonderful and rewarding journey—one filled with opportunities to help countless students achieve their dream of high school graduation. Along the way, I’ve been honored to build a team that truly loves working with students. Together, we have created a culture of care, collaboration, and growth—an environment where students can thrive both academically and personally.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree from Colorado State University Pueblo in 2006, followed by my Master of Education in 2009. Continuing my passion for learning and leadership, I obtained my Principal Licensure in 2016.

At GOAL Regency, our team is dedicated to providing every student with a high-quality, supportive, and meaningful educational experience. We are honored to partner with our families and are fully committed to helping all of our students reach their goals and cross that graduation stage with pride.
