Bio

I’m ToniJo Niccoli, Principal of the Career Elevation and Technology Center and New Meridian High School on the Global Acceleration Campus. This is my 21st year in education and my fifth year serving as Principal of CETC and NMHS. Prior to this role, I spent four years as Assistant Principal on our campus and previously worked in the Greeley/Evans School District as a teacher, Assistant Principal, and Athletic Director.

What I love most about our campus is the wide range of opportunities we provide students. Our staff is deeply committed to ensuring that every student not only graduates from high school but also has access to meaningful career pathways, including industry certifications, college credits, internships, and apprenticeships. I am continually inspired by the dedication of our staff and the accomplishments of our students, and it is a privilege to serve the St. Vrain Valley Schools community.

Outside of school, I enjoy cheering on my daughter in volleyball, traveling, spending time with family and friends, and attempting to play golf—emphasis on the attempting part!
