FROM THE FRONTLINE OF WILDFIRES TO THE FRONTLINES OF THE MIRCOSCHOOL MOVEMENT
I'm Denise Lever. I've always been a trailblazer.
​And now I'm passing the torch.
I’m Denise Lever, founder of Baker Creek Academy and TrailblazED Microschool Leadership Forge. Since 2020, I’ve helped launch 11 thriving microschools serving more than 74 learners—nearly 15% of the K–8 student population in Eagar, Arizona.
As a former wildland firefighter and longtime homeschooling mom, I bring grit, courage, and resilience to education reform. Today, I mentor microschool founders nationwide, equipping them to grow bold, learner-centered schools that transform communities.
