Congratulations to Nina Janjic and Rikki Wolpowitz who were chosen as members of the Colorado High School All-State Symphonic Band for 2012. One hundred eleven students were selected representing fifty-two high schools across Colorado.

On March 7 at 8:30 am in the Boulder High auditorium, our juniors have the opportunity to take a free, full-length practice ACT test. Juniors will not miss class time, since this is a CSAP testing day. The following week on March 15 at 6 pm in the auditorium, we will host a Test Strategies and Results “giveback” for parents and students. This is perfect timing to prepare for the “real thing,” the state-mandated ACT test given on April 24 at Boulder High during the school day. To take advantage of this great opportunity, students must pre-register at kaplantest.com/practicetest. Put in the zip code 80302, and scroll down to Boulder High School.

An exciting project that will be taking place at Boulder High starting in January. BVSD has selected several schools, including our school, to install large scale solar photovoltaic systems which will produce electricity for each school using the energy from the sun. There are no costs for the school, and no upfront capital, installation or maintenance costs for the District. Solar City, the vendor, will install, own and maintain the panels. The District will pay Solar City for the electricity generated by the panels, just as the District now pays for electricity from Xcel, and for a similar price. The project costs are offset by rebates from Xcel and federal incentives that the solar company is able to capture. The solar panels will produce a portion, but not all, of the electricity for each school. The benefits of this project include electricity coming from clean, renewable resources, and enormous learning opportunities around energy efficiency, electricity production and renewable energy.

See the press release for more details about the project and the Board of Education approval of the contract with Solar City.
