SoRoCo Middle School is one of three middle schools honored in Colorado this year with the Initial Designation as a 2024 Colorado Trailblazer School to Watch.

Here’s Principal David Grabowsky.

“This is a fantastic award not only for our students who academically have worked well together for the three years they are together, but for our teachers who offer many opportunities for them to explore ag, music, art, as well as the community because the community really supports the school district and does a great job with us, so it’s a big award.”

 

The students gathered Thursday with staff to show off the award they received from The National Forum Advancing Excellence in the Middle Grades.

 

The program focuses on school improvement efforts characterized by a continuous trajectory toward success.

 

Katie Gustafson is the Director of the Schools to Watch program. “SoRoCo Middle School ignites student learning through intentional academic opportunities for all students, relentless relationship building, and innovative elective opportunities to meet interests of all students in the school.” She added, “SoRoCo’s faculty and administrative team continuously strives to innovate and elevate learning, to reach and teach every child!”
