Local seniors can apply to colleges in Colorado for free through today (Thursday, Oct. 17). Seniors in the Class of 2025 at SoRoCo High School gathered Wednesday to work on their applications while others worked on future careers. Here’s SoRoCo High School Academic Advisor Jeanne Logan.
“Our kids are coming in and applying to colleges here in Colorado, free of charge, these next couple days. Then our kids who don’t have intentions to go to college will do a career search.”
SoRoCo has 19 seniors in the Class of 2025 this year.

Routt County veterans met with a group of 5th graders at Strawberry Park Elementary in Steamboat Springs Wednesday. The students are interviewing the veterans about their time in the military. Teagan is one of those 5th graders, who had another purpose of being there.
“I’m really interested in the Navy, and the Air Force, and the Space Force and I want to join it one day.”
The students will write a paper on the veteran they met and will give a speech to the school on Veterans Day, which is Nov. 11.
