The LAKE cleans up at State Awards Event

CONGRATULATIONS to the outstanding journalism work of the students at SLHS.  Our newspaper magazine "The Lake" swept the competition and the awards at a recent event-  SEE RESULTS BELOW-

Standley Lake's newspaper staff won 20 awards, including 11 first place awards, in the Colorado High School Press Association's Best of Colorado contest--the state's capstone contest for scholastic journalism. This makes Standley Lake by far the most award-winning high school newspaper in the state of Colorado this year. The leaders of CHSPA said this is the most awards that they can remember a school ever earning in a single year.

SENIORS Making one last Mark- DRESS LIKE JEFF DAY

Well as we inch closer and closer to saying good bye to the class of 2014.  Its a bitter sweet time for me as this is my first freshman class as a principal and now seeing them on their way to college is rewarding and very gratifying.  They've been a tremendous class and I've always said they would do great things.  Just a glimpse on how amazing this group is-  Last year's scholarship totals was around $2.4 million,  to date the class of 2014 is already at $4.2 million!!!  Nearly double that of last year!

So proud of these young men and women-  See the attached pictures as they wanted to DRESS LIKE JEFF today!
