Message from Principal

Dear Falcon Parents/Guardians,

I hope this message finds you well. It’s hard to believe we’re only a week away from Thanksgiving Break, and the semester continues to fly by as we work hard heading into the holiday.

This week, our band did a fantastic job performing at the Veterans Day parade, bringing energy and pride to the event. Congratulations are also in order for Denver Alexander on being selected for the Colorado All-State Choir! Additionally, we had a large group represent us at the DECA conference at the University of Northern Colorado, with three students qualifying for the state competition. Huge congratulations to D’Andre Lara, Marisol Sanchez, and Ariday Landeros on this achievement!

Our student ambassadors visited our feeder middle schools on Tuesday, demonstrating leadership and school pride as they connected with future Falcons. That evening, we hosted an open house with a tremendous turnout, and it was wonderful to meet so many prospective students and families excited about joining us for the 2025-26 school year.

As we look forward to Thanksgiving Break, we’re incredibly proud of the dedication and achievements of our Falcon students. Our commitment to academic excellence and personal growth remains steadfast. Thank you for being such an essential part of our incredible community.
