Principal

Mrs. Brooke Urban

Mrs. Brooke Urban grew up in Littleton, Colorado and she is a proud graduate of Columbine High School.  Her first experience with Catholic education was when she attended Benedictine College, where she obtained her undergraduate degree in Elementary and Special Education.  It was during this time that she also began her career in education as an interventionist for children and young adults with autism spectrum disorder.  

Mrs. Urban came to Blessed Sacrament after graduating from Benedictine College in 2013.  With great joy, she began teaching at Blessed Sacrament in the fifth grade and quickly fell in love with teaching, Catholic education, and our school.  After four years of teaching fifth grade, she transitioned into the middle school to teach sixth grade social studies and middle school religion.  It was during this time that she also earned her Master’s in Educational Leadership from Regis University.  Upon completing the Master’s program, she became the school’s Assistant Principal, and later began her career as Blessed Sacrament’s Principal during the 2020-2021 school year.

Her husband, Alex, is an attorney at a law firm in Denver.  Brooke and Alex spend most of their free time enjoying the great Colorado outdoors with their dogs. She loves playing team sports, reading historical fiction, DIY home projects, traveling, and of course, spending time with her husband, family, and friends. 

Assistant Principal

Mrs. Lena McCarty

Mrs. Lena McCarty is a Colorado native growing up in Parker, Colorado. She attended Ponderosa High School and received her undergraduate degree from Colorado State University.  Later, she received her MEd in Administrative Leadership from Grand Canyon University.

Mrs. McCarty did not begin her career in education, but quickly found her way into the classroom after volunteering in her children’s preschool programs. She received her teaching certificate through the Alternative Licensure Program through the Archdiocese of Denver and she has worked with the Archdiocesan Catholic Schools for 20 years as an elementary teacher. The last 5 years were spent teaching third grade at Blessed Sacrament.

Mrs. McCarty’s husband, Chris, and two sons, Nick and Thomas, all attended Catholic schools in the Denver metro area, and are currently employed by catholic schools in the area as a coach, teacher, and athletic director. When she is not supporting each of them in their respective fields, you can find her enjoying the Colorado outdoors in various ways, but mostly hiking in the mountains. She also enjoys spending time with her family, pretending she can garden, and reading, especially memoirs.

Blessed Sacrament Catholic School is an academic community of faith that develops the whole child's mind, heart and soul.
