Awards and Accomplishments

Hello SLHS community,

I cannot belive the month of may is half complete, but that means a very busy season of student achievement recognition is underway along with preparations for our commencement ceremony. 
We held our annual academic awards night this past Monday and I am once again impressed with the diverse representation of awards and recipients from this school community.  We have such a talented group of young men and women and to see them be recognized by staff for their hard work is extremely fulfilling. 

- The senior class of 2013 has earned to date a total of $1.3 million in scholarships with nearly half of that amount being earned by the 24 IB graduates.

- 41% of our entire student body this year was enrolled in at least one honors or above course! 

- Danielle Benton was awarded the Pro Start student of the year and recognized at the annual state awards banquet.

- We have our first acceptance to Standford in the history of SLHS- Katlyn Alapati

- Multiple Ivy league acceptances with one that will be attending Yale next year- Evan Narvaez

- Our athletic awards will take place next Monday May 20th and will recognize the amazing year in sports for our teams.  We just recently learned that 5 of our athletes earned JEFFCO MVP status at the league awards banquet with Zoie Hoben earning Female Athlete of the Year!!! 

- We've had fifteen student athlete letter of intent signings with a record five division one scholarships for athletics. 

This has been a year full of celebrations, sadness, and fear at times, but as always we persevered through to once again put another notch in the wall on the road to excellence.
