Who are we?

MEET THE director

Becky corkill

I’m Becky Corkill, Executive Director of Apogee 307, Curriculum Director for our K-8 (expanding to 12th) education campus in Casper, Wyoming, and Licensed Site Director for Apogee 307 Hall. As a state-certified teacher with principal and early childhood endorsements, I bring over ten years of experience from Natrona County School District, backed by bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education. While my certifications shape my expertise, I believe the true experts in every child’s life are their families, guiding their unique journeys. As a mother of two boys, I owe my path to trusting God and the unwavering support of my boyfriend, which has been my foundation.

My approach is shaped by extensive professional development and research into best practices, innovative learning models, and successful educational experiences. I am certified in Trauma Responsive Training, Curriculum Design and Development, and Home and School Connections, with additional training in High-Yield Instructional Strategies, Educational Technology and Innovation, Leadership and Community, Child Abuse, and Poverty Framework. I believe in taking the best from all educational worlds, recognizing that everyone is different and should be offered a framework to explore options that meet their individual needs.

Everyone is unique and deserves a flexible educational framework to explore options that meet their individual needs.

Families are the cornerstone of a child’s education, guiding their unique potential.

Hands-on, real-world learning builds curiosity, resilience, and practical skills.

Live by a code: stand for something, or you'll fall for anything.

Embracing mistakes as learning opportunities fosters creativity and risk-taking. Productive Failure.

Strong community partnerships cultivate confident, socially responsible youth ready for college and careers.

MEET THE Assistant director

Katelyn St. John

Hello! My name is Katelyn St John, and I’ve lived in Casper for most of my life. I graduated from NCHS in 2015. I’ve always had a passion for horses and animals, and grew up deeply involved in 4-H and FFA. I showed horses and sheep, and competed in horse judging—our team won state and later placed in the top 20 at the National FFA Convention. Those experiences taught me hard work, dedication, and responsibility, and they truly shaped who I am.

I’m lucky to have an amazing husband who supports my love for animals, and together we have three wonderful kids. Our family spends a lot of time outdoors, caring for our animals and learning together. Watching my kids grow through responsibility and new experiences is one of my favorite things.

I never imagined myself working in a school setting, but I absolutely love being part of the classroom and helping wherever I’m needed. Being involved in my children’s education and seeing what they’re learning is so important to me. After almost ten years of motherhood, I’ve learned a lot—but I also know there’s always more to learn, and I’m excited to grow alongside the kids.

Anne Hale

Hi There!  I’m Anne Hale, and I’m excited to teach enrichment lessons in Civic and History this year at Apogee 307!  I graduated from the University of Wyoming with a Bachelor’s in Education and Political Science, as well as receiving degrees in Humanities, Ecology and Wildlife Biology.   I’ve taught in both public and private schools in Wyoming, Oklahoma, and Texas and been a member and instructor in numerous homeschool co-ops, teaching kids of all ages K-12. 

I enjoy delivering hands-on, memorable lessons involving active learning and authentic assessment.  I believe students learn best by applying their knowledge to authentic, complex, real-world tasks and simulations.  We play, create, demonstrate and respectfully debate within my classroom. 

Within my church I help our youth organize large events, camps, dances, service projects and devotionals for upward of 150 youth!  I love watching kids develop their talents and step up into leadership roles as they learn life-necessary communication skills in a positive and safe environment.

A bit more:  I live on a small homestead with my family of three daughters and an amazing husband!  We raise fruit trees, sheep, dairy goats, rabbits, chickens, ducks, and all kinds of poultry.  Some of my fun hobbies include rehabilitating wildlife, fostering kittens and puppies, painting with watercolors and writing fantasy novels.

Worked with learners ranging from age 2 to 18

Experience with homeschool groups, private and public school, and church youth leadership

MEET THE art expert

Kim Breed

My name is Kim Breed. I was born and raised in Casper, Wyoming, and here I still am. I have wanted to be an artist since I was 6 years old. I graduated with an Associate’s Degree in Fine Arts from Casper College in 2009. I never saw myself as a teacher, but several years ago, I was offered a part-time job at The Nicolaysen Art Museum as an art instructor, and I was surprised to find that I loved it. I have over 10 years of art teaching experience at The NIC. I have taught preschoolers, homeschooled kids, adults, and seniors with dementia. I am experienced in many mediums, but my favorite is painting and drawing. In my spare time, I am a professional working artist, with my art for sale in multiple small galleries. I am an avid reader of fantasy and historical fiction and enjoy spending time in nature with my young son. I look forward to this new adventure teaching art at Apogee 307. Let’s make something!
