Denver (KDVR) – The Ministry of Education in Colorado presented a total of 695 performance prizes to 71 provinces and 346 schools during a Friday event.
The event celebrated the schools and provinces that received awards for the years 2023 and 2024, in categories that recognize academic achievement and student growth, among other things.
“Behind each of these awards, the story of hard work, heart and hope,” said Rebecca McClylan, head of the State Council of Education in a statement. “These schools and regions shine on what is possible when teachers, students and families meet with a common goal – to help each child prosperity.
Awards were presented by McLeilan, Vice President of Yazin Navarro, Member of the Board of Directors Lisa Eskana, Member of the Board of Directors, Cathy Gibhardt and the Devias of Education in Colorado Susanna Cungova.

Education in Colorado, data shows
The prizes seem to follow a positive trend for the bullish growth of education in Colorado, with the publication of data in January of the 2023-2024 academic year, which shows a four-year secondary graduation rate in the state and improves leakage rates for students.
CDE indicated at the time that growth was not equal to all students’ groups, as students suffer from homelessness, students from immigrant families, students with disabilities, multi -language students, students in nursery, male students who do not reach the state level at the state level by 84.2 %.
Four schools of Colorado also were appointed as Blue National 2024 tape schools by the US Department of Education last September, including DSST: CEDAR Secondary School in Denver, Mesa View Primary School in Grand Junction, SkyView Middle School at Boiplo West School and Zach Primary School in Fort Collins. Schools were also presented with prizes at Friday event.
