The 11th-grade AP U.S. History project has become a significant milestone for students in the course. This comprehensive assignment involves creating a visual review that encompasses all the knowledge acquired throughout the year, covering U.S. History from 1491 to 1990.

Students are responsible for developing a large, categorized visual summary of the entire curriculum on a shower curtain, organizing key concepts, events, and themes into distinct sections.

The project requires students to analyze historical events and documents, explaining their significance both individually and within the broader historical context.

Thanks to Mr. Gregg for leading our students so well all year long!

This is what our mission looks like in real life. 🎓

In April, our Atlas High School seniors experienced something special, Career Day, a full day designed to open doors and spark possibilities.

The day included:
🎤 Mock Interviews: With local professionals volunteering their time to coach our seniors
🏛️ Exhibitor Tables: Featuring the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, PPSC Promise, UCCS, CSU-Pueblo, PPWFC, and Careers in Construction
🍽️ Keynote + Catered Lunch: Headlined by Atlas alum Julio, who came back to inspire the next generation
💼 Career Spotlights: Students got an up-close look at careers in social work, auto sales, translation, sonography, engineering, real estate, electrical work, firefighting, nursing, and more!

Atlas's mission is to prepare and empower all students for success on their post-graduate paths through educational excellence, character development, and community engagement.

Days like this are proof that we mean it.

🌟Thank you to every professional who gave their time. You showed our seniors what's possible.

🌟And thank you to our Post-secondary Success team for all your hard work to make this event a huge success!

Our high school students are seen. They are heard. They are encouraged.
And a big part of that is because of these two, our amazing Atlas High School Assistant Principals, Isao Osuga and Laura Burt.

Every day, they show up for students with consistency, care, and a commitment to making sure every Gryphon knows they matter.

Thank you, Mr. Osuga and Ms. Burt. Atlas High is better because of you. 🙌
