Shortridge Academy owner and co-founder, Katie Rainer has recently moved into admissions and marketing position. Since Shortridge opened its doors in November of 2002, Katie has been working within the milieu as a residential staff, overseeing off-campus activities and special programming for female students. Starting this month, Katie will be supporting the admissions and marketing functions assisting Don Vardell with parent and referral source tours, marketing events and communications support.
"I have always enjoyed meeting prospective parents when they tour and educational consultants at conferences. Being able to get more directly involved in our overall brand management and related communications is very exciting", said Katie.
Katie has a BS in International Business from the University of Denver and is married to Founder & President Adam Rainer. When not at the campus, Katie spends her time as the proud mom of 10-year old twins Charlie and Lucy who were born the very same year that Shortridge Academy opened its doors! She has a love for travel, children, and families.

Since 2002, Shortridge Academy has been helping students and families who are struggling with academic performance, loss of interest in activities and increased conflict in family or peer relationships.
