Colleen Quinn

Colleen Quinn teaches art at Pittsfield High School and at BCC. Always an involved teacher, Colleen took charge when schools were forced to close, and worked tirelessly to make sure that graduating seniors celebrated in style, despite the pandemic. As class advisor and pep club administrator, she plays a pivotal role in the education of many students, often sacrificing her personal time. Also involved with the Berkshire art community, Colleen and her colleagues hosted a walk-through outdoor art gallery in lieu of indoor viewing. “She is a beacon of happiness at PHS,” says recent Pittsfield High graduate Mary Hines.
