Erick, a first-generation college student, will attend Haverford College this fall, where his scholarship will cover tuition, housing, meals, and other related expenses. He plans to study electrical engineering, and we can’t wait to see the impact he’ll make.
👏Congratulations, Erick, your hard work, perseverance, and #GryphonGrit are an inspiration to our entire Atlas community.
And a huge shoutout to Ms. Wilson (pictured here with Erick), one of Atlas High School's College & Career Advisors, who supported Erick as he applied for this remarkable opportunity!

Ever wonder what an Atlas CLDE Interventionist does? 💬📚
First things first, CLDE stands for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education.
At Atlas High School, Ms. Mejia supports students by building language skills, confidence, and real-world communication, helping students strengthen how they listen, speak, and connect with others across learning environments.
Recently, her CLDE class took those skills on the road! As part of their final project, our high school students visited our elementary students to interview first-grade students. They practiced thoughtful questioning, active listening, and relationship-building while recording conversations about birthdays, favorite things, and fun facts, learning just as much from the first graders as they shared with them.
This kind of hands-on, cross-campus learning is a powerful example of how Atlas's CLDE support helps students grow as communicators, leaders, and mentors within our Atlas community.

🎄It all started last year, during the 2024 Festival of Lights Parade, when Atlas High School history teacher, Mr. Gregg (second photo), had the inspirational idea for Atlas to have a float in the 2025 parade. We started dreaming (and building, and building!) and voila -- Mr. Gregg's dream turned into an amazing opportunity for our Atlas staff and families to participate in this year's parade, sharing Atlas with the local Colorado Springs community!
A HUGE shoutout goes to our woodshop teachers, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Vasquez (first photo), along with our woodshop students, who made the vision come to life! Many, many hours were logged getting the float and all of the lights (over 4,000!) just right!
Mrs. Fisher and her art students created the lit-up "Atlas" on top of the float (third photo), and Mr. Ramos, with Unlimited Landscape Services, generously lent us his trailer, which was the ONLY way we could pull this off.
Thank you, Atlas staff and families, for making Atlas's Parade of Lights Debut a huge success!
