Student Voices
Hear from students designing their futures
From a young age, I’ve been passionate about becoming a fashion designer. My VPA teachers helped me realize I could turn that dream into a reality.
Deejha Blash-Lopez, a Mountain View Elementary alum and one of St. Vrain's first P-TEACH graduates, discovered her passion for teaching through the pathway's concurrent enrollment and classroom experiences. After student teaching at Mountain View in May 2023, she was hired as a kindergarten teacher there, where she now creates engaging, memorable learning experiences for her students.
The classes that inspire me the most would be my environmental science class. I really enjoy the time that we get to go work out in the field and gather data and then analyze it in our classroom.
The knowledge I’ve gained through the Aerospace and Engineering program, along with hands-on experience, has enhanced my understanding of engineering concepts and given me opportunities to apply what I’ve learned in the real world.
Music just means a lot to me and I’ve had a lifelong relationship with music, but this group is redefining it. This team is creating a pathway that is opening up a lot of opportunities for other students.
I think a lot of students here enjoy being able to do everything. I'm part of Science and Leadership, I'm part of band, I'm part of yearbook, I play sports. We're able to do all of that and everyone supports everyone.
The Culinary Program gave me industry certifications and experience in every restaurant position. What I learned at the CETC set me apart wherever I went.
Everyone should take one year of Energy Academy, it will be beneficial. I’ve met so many people, discovered new interests, and had experiences that I wouldn’t have gotten otherwise.
Niwot has prepared me for my future by giving me the opportunity to pursue all of my interests, through student council and the IB diploma, and I know that my voice matters here. So, In the future I won't be afraid to try new things and I have the tools to accomplish anything.
