¿Qué hace que tu preparatoria ?
Lo que hace que Erie High sea único es la comunidad tan unida que no solo existe dentro del centro, sino en toda la ciudad de Erie. Es realmente increíble ver a todos los antiguos alumnos que regresan para apoyar el legado que construyeron durante su etapa en el EHS. Además, el personal de EHS se esfuerza por reconocer a cada estudiante por lo que es como persona y siempre hay un apoyo colectivo positivo por parte de nuestro alumnado hacia todos nuestros programas extracurriculares, deportivos, de artes escénicas y unificados que no encontrarás en ningún otro sitio.

Why should a student want to attend Erie High School?
A student should attend Erie high school because it has a small town feel to it. The opportunities here at Erie are endless from the wide variety of classes and clubs they offer. The teachers and staff are excited and passionate about what they do and it reflects onto the students.

How has your school’s focus program prepared you for postsecondary success?
Erie High School’s performing arts program has done so much to prepare me for post secondary success. I have had many opportunities to participate in District and Allstate choirs which has definitely improved my musicianship. Mrs Burd has especially been a huge mentor for me and it is because of all the amazing experiences that I have had through this program, that I have decided to make music education a part of my future career.

How has your school’s focus program prepared you for postsecondary success?
Being able to participate in Frederick’s CU Succeed program as well as take other AP/honors classes has greatly set me up for success in the college world. I am fortunate enough to be graduating with a little over 30 college credits and am very confident in my ability to be successful with course-loads and content for next year after being able to experience so many college level classes as a high school student.
Levi Friss
Ciencias Biomédicas, Universidad Estatal de Colorado
Why should a student want to attend your high school?
Despite having the connotations of a small town school, I believe that Frederick High School has the same appeals as a small college. The class sizes are intimate and detailed, there is a strong sense of community across classes, sports, and extracurricular activities, which makes being a student here very special.
Yennifer Solórzano Valles
Higiene dental, Community College of Denver
What makes your high school unique?
The teachers at Frederick high school make my school unique. They are dedicated, hardworking, and passionate teachers. They provide every student the support they need to become successful.
Longmont High School
Connor McCormick
Ingeniería Mecánica/Informática, Universidad de Princeton
What’s a favorite memory from your time at St. Vrain?
Spending each day with the people who I’ve grown to love. Whether it be at a certain event or just day to day school, the people have made everything so much more fun.
Zaynah Khan
Biología Molecular, Celular y del Desarrollo, Universidad de Colorado en Boulder
How has your school’s focus program prepared you for postsecondary success?
As a student at LHS, I am a proud member of the MBSA program. Growing up, I always knew that I wanted to pursue a career in the medical field, and Longmont High School’s focus programs reinforced my interests and passions. In this program, I learned a tremendous amount of knowledge in the sector of healthcare, hands-on activities, as well as, enrolling into classes that provide me with an understanding of different healthcare fields, like Forensic Science, Biotechnology, Nutrition and Wellness, etc. Additionally, I had the opportunity to complete my Senior MBSA Internship, which allowed me to research a topic I am incredibly passionate about. Not only did the MBSA program offer me insight into healthcare and academia, the MBSA coordinators are beyond wonderful.
Bruno Gallegos Sánchez
Why should a student want to attend your high school?
Longmont High has a community that bolsters the aspiration of its students’ many diverse interests. Although some of the programs and or clubs may be small, while others are large and take the center stage, they all coexist at Longmont High. Looking for what you’re passionate about can take some time and many explore in the four years of high school. What better way to explore than to have a plethora of options from school athletics to the Medical Bioscience Academy, SMART team, and all sorts of clubs. Whether you know what you’re passionate about or not, you can develop that passion or find a new one.

Educación musical, Universidad Estatal de Colorado
What advice would you give to students entering high school next year?
You can learn from any situation. From the first day to graduation, cherish every learning experience, every community experience with your peers, time with your friends, and special school events. For many, high school is where you learn who you are, so hold nothing back. It’s up to you to maximize your education. It’s up to you to maximize the relationships you build during this crazy time of your life you’re about to enter. Make the most of every individual thing you do, because this is where you build your life.
Maya Sol Rooney
Estudios de griego, latín y del Mediterráneo antiguo, con una especialización secundaria en Estudios de Cine y Medios de Comunicación, Reed College
¿Qué hace que tu preparatoria ?
Tenemos una mentalidad muy unida, acorde con el tamaño reducido de Lyons High School. Formamos una comunidad muy unida en la que los alumnos conocen a todos los compañeros preparatoria a todos los profesores. Tenemos el control de nuestra propia educación y podemos acudir a los profesores en busca de ayuda, ya que hay muy pocos alumnos.
Cody Saunders
Ingeniería Eléctrica, Universidad Estatal de Colorado
¿Cuál es tu recuerdo favorito de tu etapa en St. Vrain?
Durante mi estancia en St. Vrain, disfruté mucho de poder jugar en el equipo de golf Longmont High sin dejar de lado mis estudios en el instituto Lyons High School.
Mead High School
Greta Richardson
Dartmouth College
Why should a student want to attend your high schools?
The Mead High School community is amazing. I have always felt so much support from my classmates and teachers throughout my four years. There are so many opportunities that students can take advantage of, with sports, performance, clubs, and such a variety of classes offered both through the school itself, the Innovation Center, and Career Elevation and Technology Center.
DJ Vicente
Periodismo y Comunicación Audiovisual, Universidad Estatal de Colorado
What advice would you give to students entering high school next year?
One piece of advice I’d give to incoming High School Students is to keep an open mind when trying to navigate through High School. It’s a totally new environment, but overtime, I can guarantee you will find something you become incredibly passionate about, and stick with it.
Quincey Coyle
¿Qué hace que tu preparatoria ?
Tenemos unos programas deportivos realmente buenos, pero eso no resta importancia a la formación académica en absoluto. Contamos con alumnos que obtienen excelentes resultados tanto en lo académico como en lo deportivo.
New Meridian High School
Jeanne Gochenour
Criminología y Justicia Penal, Universidad del Norte de Colorado
How has your school’s focus program prepared you for postsecondary success?
This school has shown me that I can accomplish anything that I wish to accomplish. The support I have received through every class has been astonishing. I am currently taking an AP Psychology class and a Social Justice class at MSU Denver through my school. These classes have prepared me for more college-level courses and have given me a glimpse at what I will need to do and the effort I will need to put forward once I am in college. This school also pushes kids to reach their full potential by having many college-based events, such as tours, application days, etc.
Christian Bernal
¿Qué hace que vuestra preparatoria ?
El tamaño de nuestro centro es único. Somos un centro pequeño y se respira un ambiente familiar. Aquí se trata a todo el mundo con respeto y todos son aceptados por nuestra comunidad.
Leah Arens
Psicología o Preparación para Derecho, sin decidir
Why should a student want to attend your high school?
A student should want to attend New Meridian High school because the community is welcoming and the students are respectful. We all have backgrounds that are entirely different, which pulls us together. The teachers are the most helpful advisors ever, and they make you feel wanted in our community.
Niwot High School
Eilene Heo
Psicología, Universidad de Fordham
What’s a favorite memory from your time at St. Vrain?
My favorite memory was when we were at a track meet for the indoor season, and I had been training very hard to work on my jumps form. When it was my turn to do a jump, I remembered all that my coaches had told me, and I went for the jump. When I made it into the pit, my coach looked so excited since I had just jumped a foot further than I had ever jumped. Afterward, my teammates and schoolmates congratulated me, which just showed the great support I had in St Vrain.
Zane Bergen
Universidad de Stanford
Why should a student want to attend your high school?
“Niwot High School, Home of the Champions”… As one enters our commons, the hefty learning stairs or the maze of seemingly endless hallways, may overwhelm you. At the end of these hallways and stairs lies opportunities to grow, learn, and become a champion, a Niwot High School Champion. Not just a champion of sports or academics; a person devoted to bettering themselves and the people around them with the goal of making the world a better place, a champion of life. Any student who aspires to be a Niwot High School Champion, simply has to enter the gates to the hefty stairs and endless hallways.
Tasman Moskowitz
Ingeniería Mecánica y Aeroespacial, Universidad de Princeton
How has your school’s focus program prepared you for postsecondary success?
I believe that the IB diploma program has prepared me for success, because it has raised my expectations for myself surrounding the quality of work that I produce. Just the nature of IB classes in which you have to complete internal assessments and prepare for exams that in my opinion are harder than AP exams, forces you to hold yourself accountable for always engaging in classes and actually learning all of the content in detail. I know that when I have a difficult class in college I will be successful in managing my time, producing quality writing assignments, and completing difficult exams thanks to the skills that I have learned in IB.
Silver Creek High School
Aiden Lathrope
Empresariales, Universidad de Colorado en Boulder
What’s your favorite memory from your time at St. Vrain?
My senior capstone project, Smart Cart, for Silver Creek Leadership Academy marks some of my favorite memories within the district. This program allowed me to teach something I love, nutrition, to a receptive group of 6th grade students at Altona. In and out of class, the project required constant time devotion gathering donations, printing and designing recipes, and structuring lesson plans. Ironically, I enjoyed every second of it. I never left the classroom unhappy with how things went, only with ideas on how to improve. Taking a class that allows you to do something unique that you have a passion for is incredibly rare but incredibly rewarding.
Sierra Bindseil
Ingeniería Mecánica, Universidad Politécnica Estatal de California
How has your school’s focus program prepared you for postsecondary success?
Throughout my four years in the SCLA program, I have learned how to be a more confident public speaker, how to empathize with the needs of my community, and how to be successful in project management. I have recently finished working on my Senior Leadership Capstone, where I collaborated with 6th grade technology classes to develop lessons on women in engineering and technology to inspire younger girls to get involved in such a male dominated field. I know that I will use these valuable experiences to be an effective leader in my postsecondary education.
Adithya Bhaskara
Informática y Matemáticas, Universidad de Colorado en Boulder
Why should a student want to attend your high school?
Silver Creek High School is a sea of opportunities for all students. At Silver Creek, students of various backgrounds, varying interests, and different approaches to learning, will all succeed in their own ways. Students may participate in rigorous Advanced Placement courses; esteemed orchestras, bands, and choirs; reputed leadership opportunities; trailblazing programs in computer science, cybersecurity, and business; and highly regarded athletics programs. At Silver Creek High School, there is something for everyone.
Skyline High School
Diana García García
Biología – Fisiología integrada, Universidad de Colorado en Boulder
¿Qué hace que tu preparatoria ?
Lo que hace que Skyline High sea tan especial es la familia en la que te integras. La comunidad aquí es muy diversa, y a todos se les ofrecen las mismas oportunidades fantásticas.
Cameron Piggot
Ingeniería Mecánica, Universidad de Colorado en Boulder
Why should a student want to attend your high school?
With so many programs such as STEM, FalconTECH, VPA, and more, there are a lot of opportunities to strengthen your college readiness or feel more prepared for your postgraduate plans. Another reason students should attend Skyline is the opportunity for an individualized path to graduate. For example, I am a STEM student, but I have also had the chance to complete 12 AP courses and take additional elective classes of interest.
Erin Elwood
Enfermería, Universidad del Norte de Colorado
¿Cómo te ha preparado el programa de especialización de tu centro educativo para tener éxito en la educación superior?
Durante mi estancia en Skyline he participado en STEM de nuestra escuela. Este programa me ha ayudado a prepararme para el éxito en la educación superior porque no solo me ha ayudado a decidir qué quiero estudiar y a descubrir mis intereses y lo que no me interesa, sino que también me ha proporcionado muchas experiencias, desde actividades prácticas hasta colaboraciones en grupo, pasando incluso por experiencias de hablar en público y hacer presentaciones, que me serán muy útiles después de graduarme.

Why should a student want to attend your high school?
SVVHS lets the student guide more of their school experience, and set their own pace. Furthermore, it offers this virtually, and has many exceptions and very understanding staff for any sort of extracurricular or medical exception. They have many excellent support systems in place, and the one goal is to ensure you graduate. If you want to chart your own path through high school, SVVHS is for you!
Avery Kinzle
Psicología del Comportamiento, Universidad de Baylor
¿Qué consejo darías a los alumnos que van a empezar preparatoria preparatoria año preparatoria ?
Mi consejo para los alumnos que van a empezar preparatoria año preparatoria es que disfruten de cada momento, porque se pasa volando. Desde cada reto hasta cada rato que paséis con vuestros amigos, sacadles el máximo partido, porque vosotros tenéis en vuestras manos lo buenos que sean vuestros preparatoria .
Sam Dorschel
Enfermería, Universidad de San Francisco
What makes your high school unique?
What makes SVVHS unique is the connection that the students have with their counselors. They do their best to accommodate all of the students’ needs, and they are really helpful in honestly any part of a students life. Whether that is sports, family issues, school, etc. The counselors take the time to make sure that every student is going to be successful in whatever they do.
Programa de educación en el hogar APEX
Caleb Ellis
Departamento de Comunicación, Universidad de Colorado en Colorado Springs
Why should a student want to attend your high school?
First of all, APEX has always focused on hiring amazing people as teachers. I have always seen how much love the teachers have for teaching and reaching out to their students. Secondly, a smaller school means a very close community. Everyone knows everyone and the smaller student population means that in each class the teacher can really get to know you.
Tegan Chanders
Ingeniería Mecánica, Universidad de Colorado en Boulder
¿Qué hace que tu preparatoria ?
El hecho de ser un centro pequeño y contar con un profesorado y un personal excepcionales permite a los alumnos personalizar su educación, lo que la hace más interesante y eficaz para ellos. La posición única de APEX como programa de enriquecimiento también permite a los profesores centrarse en lo que los alumnos quieren aprender, lo que realmente enriquece la educación que reciben en casa.
Matthew Fuller
Informática, Universidad de Colorado en Colorado Springs
How has your school’s focus program prepared you for postsecondary success?
In my time at apex I took three of the Advanced Placement courses that APEX offered, and I have nothing but praise for them. As such I would say that APEX has prepared me incredibly well for postsecondary success, both helping me become more capable of expressing myself in terms of the written word, and offering concurrent enrollment classes allowing me to be entering college with 2 full semesters of credits already done.
LaunchED Virtual Academy
Esperanza Carillo
Why should a student want to attend your high school?
The teachers at LaunchED are very understanding about individual life situations and care very much about their students. We are able to build our own personal bond with our teachers.
Dilan Najera
How has your school prepared you for postsecondary success?
The LaunchED counselors are always there to help, and our teachers are very supportive and even though you don’t know anyone very well, it still feel close like we are in an in-person learning community. Teachers are very straightforward with the lessons, giving us time to do it, and they always push us on the right track.
