CRMS students headed for Duke and U Penn

Colorado Rocky Mountain School would like to congratulate seniors Grady Lenkin and Courtney Bender on their Early Decision acceptances to Duke University and the University of Pennsylvania, respectively. One reason Grady selected Duke is because he believes that while their students are brilliant, they still lead balanced lives that go beyond their studies. Courtney has wanted to attend U Penn since she was a small child. She has family in the Philadelphia area and is looking forward to being part of a close-knit campus in a large city setting. We wish them both tremendous success in their college endeavors and beyond.

Student-initiated Clubs and Efforts are Raising Funds and Awareness in our Community and Beyond

Community service is a core value and has been a way of life at CRMS since its inception in 1953. John Holden said, “It is my firm belief that the happiest people in the world are those who serve their fellow man.” Our students have always been compelled and encouraged to go beyond the robust academic and active offerings, and to become productive, engaged members of our society. One such opportunity to contribute in a greater and meaningful way is through our student clubs. On a daily basis, CRMS students, despite their hectic school schedules, are reaching out and helping those less fortunate or simply in need of assistance. From Operation Smile and Face AIDS to Soles 4 Souls and Random Acts of Kindness, CRMS student-initiated clubs and efforts are raising funds and awareness in our community and beyond. Most recently there has been a tremendous amount of student interest in global humanitarian causes, and our clubs reflects this social awareness.
