SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE AWARD WINNER
This month we are celebrating as the recipients of two recognition awards. First, we are the 9-time (HS) and 4-time (JH) consecutive winner of the John Irwin School of Excellence award given by the Colorado Department of Education. Second, we have been recognized by Newsweek as a Top 5000 STEM High School in America. Both of these recognitions would not be possible without the outstanding performance of our students. So thank you! As a school administration and faculty, we celebrate with the students for these accomplishments because it takes a community to achieve this type of performance. It takes students committed to learning at high levels and pushing themselves to accomplish more than their counterparts. It takes parents willing to support their students’ multiple activities and endeavors as well as support them through the stress and anxiety that achieving high expectations can cause. It takes teachers who set high expectations, design learning tasks to propel kids toward achievement, and support students through the hard stuff to learn grit and perseverance. It takes staff to make sure our school runs well and is a safe place to learn. Congratulations to our community for supporting and serving our students to excellence!
