Super proud of our Class 101 students who participated in American Legion's Colorado Boys State and Colorado Girls State this month. After successfully being selected from a competitive application process, our students collaborated with peers across the state to learn the ins and outs of the political process and deepened their understanding of how government works. Time well spent making new connections, exploring careers, and demonstrating leadership. Way to build skills for the future! #coloradoboysstate2024 #coloradogirlsstate2024 #summerpowerup #findafuture #areyouready #collegeplanning #collegeapplications #collegeadmissions #resumebuilder #class101coloradosprings

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT: Many southern schools have early application deadlines, but that didn't sway Shelby. She knew she wanted to attend Ole Miss, so she applied in July and received acceptance before most students even started their applications. She was admitted to several other Colorado colleges, but she remained focused on attending Ole Miss and committed there this spring. Cheering for you every step of the way, Shelby! #olemiss #senior spotlight #collegeplanning #collegeapplications #collegeadmissions #findafuture #areyouready #class101coloradosprings

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT: Luke graduated today with an Honors Gold Seal Diploma from The University School. Earning a 4.0 GPA is no small feat when you are part of a 2-time Colorado State Champion Division I Ultimate Frisbee Team and author of a children's book, Hish. Next year, he's off to CSU to study in the University Honors Program. Props to you, Luke! #futureram #csubound #greenandgold #collegeadmissions #collegeacceptance #collegeplanning #scholarships #findafuture #areyouready #class101coloradosprings

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT: When you know, you know! Regan was accepted to all of the colleges where she applied, and she received over $250,000 of scholarships, but her heart was drawn to Boulder. When she was offered admission to CU Boulder with an Esteemed Scholar award in December, she committed to her top choice college right away. This spring, Regan graduated magna cum laude from her high school. She completed the Project Lead the Way Biomedical Science Program and earned the Global Seal of Biliteracy in French. She volunteered dozens of hours at the Care and Share Food Bank and Ronald McDonald House while also holding a part-time job tutoring young children. She plans to major in Integrative Physiology and eventually pursue a career in medicine focused on women's health. Way to go, Regan! You did it! #boulderbound #seniorspotlight #collegeplanning #collegeadmissions #collegeapplications #scholarships #financialaid #findafuture #areyouready #class101coloradosprings

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT: Tyler is definitely one of the Best & Brightest in our area. He is also a National Merit Finalist, AP Scholar with Distinction, CHSAA Academic All State First Team for Soccer, Colorado Springs Gazette Preps All Area First Team for Soccer, nominee for Rotary Champion in the Pikes Peak Region, member of Young Men's Service League, and a lifeguard. With over $1.4 million in merit scholarships across all of his college acceptances, Tyler made his final commitment (after the publication of this article) to Colby College in Maine where he will study Environmental Science. Most of all, Tyler is an extraordinarily humble, kind, and compassionate young man who will definitely make the world a better place.
