AURORA - CHSAA Commissioner Mike Krueger announced on the November edition of Coffee with the Commish that Chris Murray is the November winner of the Brewed for Impact with Circle K. 

Murray is the Dean of Students and Athletic Director at Telluride Middle/High School. 

“Chris Murray truly embodies what it means to lead through the values of educationally based athletics and activities,” noted CHSAA Commissioner Mike Krueger. “For years, he has modeled integrity, perspective, and a deep commitment to doing what’s best for students. His steady leadership has shaped a culture at Telluride High School, and across the Western Slope, that celebrates learning, growth, and community through sports and activities.”

New for this year and in partnership with Circle K, CHSAA is recognizing school administrators with a Brewed for Impact Award. This award honors those who lead with purpose, consistency and heart - pouring into others while championing educationally based athletics and activities. This monthly recognition is part of Coffee with the Commish and recognizes leadership that goes beyond wins and losses and focuses on building stronger schools and stronger communities through the values of educationally based programs. 

Each month, one award winner will receive a certificate from CHSAA Commissioner Mike Krueger and a coffee mug from Circle K for embodying the mission of CHSAA and making a meaningful difference in their schools and communities. 

The first award winner was announced on September 24, 2025. The next winner will be announced on Jan. 21 at Coffee with the Commish.
