Las Dahlias consists of five members with a variety of backgrounds, cultures, and music careers. The instrumentation of the group includes three violins, a vihuela, and a guitarron. The mission of Las Dahlias is to promote female representation and share music of Mexican influence throughout the state of Colorado.

SHS Falcon Career Talks Spring 2024

Every semester we have a week of SHS Falcon Career Talks when we invite members of our community to come to Skyline and speak to our freshmen about their occupations. For some students, this experience can be life-changing because it sparks their interest in a career they didn’t know about before, which empowers them to be invested in school and their futures.  If you or someone you know might be interested in coming to our school to speak (it is tentatively planned for the first full week of March, 2024), please fill in the form and we will contact you with more details!  Thank you!
