Executive Director
Adrienne Atencio
Adrienne joined HVCC in 2007 as the first employee and has enjoyed growing with HVCC and supporting the expansion from the tiny house on Grand Avenue into what it is today. She has lived in the Del Norte area her entire adult life and married a Del Norte native in 2002. Adam works in education and they have 3 children who have participated in HVCC at all levels. When not working, Adrienne enjoys being in the kitchen and spending her summer weekends at “the lake”. During the year she can often be found at her kids’ games and events, and traveling whenever she can. Adrienne is committed to helping make Del Norte be the best it can be because we see everyday how youth can grow when they are given the love and care they deserve from the adults in their community. We all play a part in ensuring that youth have the tools and support they need because youth are the solution!

HEATH BELL
Heath comes to HVCC with an extreme passion for the youth and progression of the community of Del Norte. Originally from New Mexico, Heath grew up in Creede and graduated from Fort Lewis College in 2014 with a degree in Exercise Science; emphasis in Exercise Physiology. Continuing his graduate education through CU Denver, a spark to teach and work with the youth was lit. Inspired by the many teachers and educators in his family, he pursued a career in teaching. Heath has lived all across the valley but calls Del Norte "Home." In his free time, he is often found on the river hooked into a fish, in the mountains chasing big game, or just out for a casual run on some single track. He often enjoys competing in ultramarathons and loves to lift weights. Anything outdoors, he is into it. He joined HVCC in 2025 after nearly a decade in the classroom teaching multiple subjects, mostly science, across middle school and high school grade levels. Working at HVCC, he hopes to bring his wide skill set to contribute to the improvement of HVCC and make it a place that every kid wants to be.
