Student Voices
Hear from students designing their futures
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.
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.
Talking with my mentor through the RaptorTECH Program gave me a better sense of what workplace readiness actually means including communication, teamwork, and taking personal responsibility for my work.
Frederick High School student, Tanya Alvarado, solidified her passion for medicine through the Biomedical Science Academy. Tanya was able to collaborate directly with CSU undergraduate mentors through the Anatomical Case Studies Virtual Reality course. “I always thought I wanted to pursue a career in medicine, and this experience really solidified that for me,” she shares. “The partnership gave me a sense of what future college classes would look like – especially because this is a college class.”
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.
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.
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 Biomedical Science Academy has helped me understand how medicine relates back to the body which will help me in my future career as a pharmacist. It has also helped with my presenting skills, organization, and note taking. I've been able to take what I've learned and apply it to other classes.
Being able to take college classes during high school is a big opportunity to help you out in the future and it will prepare you for college as well.
