5 questions with Legend High School’s Jeremy Dorr BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
When does a passion become a calling? In a state filled with goldhearted individuals dedicating their lives to special education, one local coach was honored as the 2024 Special Olympics Coach of the Year in Colorado. Jeremy Dorr at Legend High School received the award last month and said he’s shocked but honored to be recognized among so many wonderful coaches in the community. “I’ve been around special education all my life,” Dorr said. “I worked with students growing up who had special needs. I’ve just always been around it. The Special Olympics community is such a small community and it’s such a fun and amazing community with amazing people. It’s become such a huge passion of mine to just provide opportunities for athletes to experience whatever sport it may be.” SEE COACH, P12
