About Me!

I’m Jake Bamforth, a physical education and health teacher at Highland High School. I also coach Highland’s middle school and high school cross-country teams. My goal is to help students build confidence, challenge themselves and develop healthy habits they can carry beyond high school.

Outside of school, I am the owner of NoCo Tri Sports, where I provide endurance coaching and youth triathlon camps. I began competing professionally in triathlon in 2022 and earned two top-10 individual finishes at collegiate nationals while representing Colorado State University. These experiences shape how I teach and coach: I value consistent effort, teamwork and personal growth.
