CHLOE DAUGHERTY

Assistant Principal

Hey there! I'm Chloe Daugherty, the Assistant Principal of Stone Mountain Elementary School, and I'm absolutely thrilled to welcome you to the Cub Community! Before becoming a building leader, I served DCSD as a special education teacher. I'm deeply passionate about helping students succeed through differentiated instruction, positive connections, and a love for learning. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Jared, our daughter, Nora, and our dog, Chance. Whether we're hitting the slopes or finding new trails, we love exploring the outdoors together! I look forward to supporting the students, staff, and community members of Stone Mountain through open communication, collaboration, and celebrations!

Hello! I am so excited to be joining SME as the Health Assistant this year! Although this is my first year in this role, SME has been a very special part of my life for the past seven years. I have been actively involved in our school community through volunteering, substitute teaching, and most recently serving as the SME PTO President during the 2025–2026 school year. This year, my own children recently moved on from SME to attend Ranch View Middle School, making it especially meaningful to continue being part of the school community I have loved for so many years. I feel incredibly privileged to care for and support our students each day. I enjoy connecting with students and families, and I look forward to making the health room a welcoming, safe, and caring place for every student who walks through the door. Outside of school, I am married and a proud mom to two children, Alivia, who is in seventh grade, and Jack, who is in sixth grade. I’m looking forward to a wonderful school year!

Hello! I am originally from the South and have enjoyed calling Colorado home for the past 13 years. My husband and I have loved raising our two children here, both of whom graduated from Douglas County Schools. I have been a nurse for 30 years, with experience in newborn intensive care, pediatrics, and school nursing. Being part of the Stone Mountain Elementary community is such a blessing—I truly love working with our wonderful students, families, and staff every day.

I moved to Colorado 5 years ago from New Mexico, originally from Texas so I am loving the non-scorching heat of Colorado. I enjoy driving through the mountains and seeing the wildlife. I love animals, so I love seeing the elk herds roam freely.

Hello everyone, I'm Vic Thiret (Mr. Vic)  DCSD has added an extra layer of security to Stone Mountain Elementary, and I am your campus Security Specialist. I work closely with school administration, District Security, and the School Resource Officer to provide full-time proactive security services to our students, staff, and building.  I retired in 2022 from the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office after 30 years of service. I am happy to be here and truly enjoy working with the awesome staff and kids. On weekends, my wife and I love to take day trips and hike with our two dogs.
