Hall of Fame
Jan Anderson
Denver East
As a teacher, Jan Anderson filled roles outside of her regular teaching duties as the school’s yearbook adviser, Student Council sponsor, and Cheer sponsor. Upon her retirement, that strong desire to serve continued as Anderson has been a mainstay. For the past 35 years, she has served as a CHSAA official for boys and girls swim, has spent 25 years as a statistician for the CHSAA Boys and Girls State Basketball Tournament, and has volunteered for a variety of other sports.
"The biggest thing is, I'm following in my father's footsteps," Anderson said. "My father is also in the Hall of Fame, which, I think, is pretty special, to have a father and a daughter go in. He was far more important, because he was very, very well known. But, for me to go in is extremely special. It also means a great deal because I feel like I had an opportunity to represent a lot of students, and my job as an an official and my job, for a very short period of time, as a coach, just really gave me an opportunity to do a lot. And, I enjoyed everything I did. So this just helps bring it full circle."
