ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ

While academic achievement plays a significant role in preparing a student for college, ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ focuses on the development of the whole student, based on the values of virtue and wisdom.  By fostering a well-rounded approach to education, ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ produces students who not only graduate with the ability to further their academic goals, but also feel prepared to live a full life, enriched by culture, the arts, and athletics, to name a few. Below are examples of how students at ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ excel in a variety of subjects and focus areas.  This achievement among  students is just one of the reasons Newsweek and U.S. News and World Report consistently ranks ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ as one of the top schools in Colorado and the nation.

Academic Achievement

For the 2018-2019 school year, ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ High School, Junior High, and Elementary earned the Colorado State Board of Education’s John Irwin Schools of Excellence Award for Outstanding Academic Achievement.  The high school also received the Colorado State Board of Education Award for Academic Growth.

Fine Arts

Two ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ students earned a spot at this year’s All-State Choir, bringing our total students selected for this honor to thirty-one in the past ten years. ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ Singers were selected to perform at the 2017 and 2018 Colorado Music Educators Association Conference. Art students at ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ have excelled in recent art competitions and exhibitions in the area, bringing home several awards for ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ.

Cultural Enrichment

College Readiness

64 students took 135 Advanced Placement exams in the spring of 2018.  The percentage of AP students with scores of three or higher (on a one to five scale) was 92.2%.  American colleges generally grant placement and course credit to students who obtain scores of three or higher on exams.

In a recently published report by the Colorado Department of Education, ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ had the lowest percentage of graduates requiring remedial classes in college.

Scholarship Opportunities

Students from the 2010-2018 classes have had 52 members who have received recognition through the National Merit Scholarship Program.  In the last nine years, ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ has had sixteen National Merit Finalists, two Boettcher Scholarship recipients, and five Daniels Scholarship recipients.

Two  students are finalists for the most prestigious scholarships in Colorado: the Boettcher Scholarship and the Daniels Fund Scholarship.  Both scholarships not only provide full tuition, but  also  leadership mentoring throughout college.

Last year’s Class of 2018, with 56 graduates, earned $4,202,872 in scholarships.  Over the past nine years, ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵstudents have earned over $31,800,000 in college scholarships. Collectively, 14% of the Class of 2019 earned recognition through the National Merit Scholarship program.
