East Campus Leadership Team

Principal

Emily Van Luit

I am so thrilled to be a part of the Vanguard Classical School community as the Principal at the East Campus! Before my Vanguard life, I had the privilege of teaching 5th graders for 7 years and 4th graders for 4 years at another well-known Aurora charter school. I have a B.A. in Behavioral Science, an M.A. in Elementary Education, and an Ed.S. in Educational Leadership. Currently, I hold an active Principal License and Teacher License in the State of Colorado. I like to spend my “spare time” thinking about how best to serve our VCS community, traveling, sitting on my front porch waving to the passers-by, and hanging out with my family.

Assistant Principal/Athletic Director

Troy Stevens

Hello, I am Troy Stevens. I am entering my second year here at Vanguard. I am entering my fifteenth year in education. I have been in the classroom as a Social Studies teacher, Dean of Students, Assistant to the Principal, and my current role of Assistant Principal all at the secondary level. I am a Colorado native and grew up in Aurora and I currently reside in this beautiful city. I am a graduate from Overland High School. I am married to my best friend and wife, Brandy, of 21 years. We have two beautiful children. I love to lift weights as I use it as a stress reliever, volunteer in the community, officiate youth and high school football, spending time with my family and play baseball which I have played at the college and professional levels. I also believe in doing blood cancer awareness through the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. My family has been effected by both of these blood cancers.
