Cheyenne Mountain High School is synonymous with academic excellence, athletic prestige (101 state championships), and nationally recognized music and art programs. Nestled at the foothills of Cheyenne Mountain coupled with the construction of a brand-new high school, this is by far one of the most beautiful high schools around in one of the most breath-taking locations in the country. In examining the academics of Cheyenne, much of the excellence seen (whether it be remarkable SAT scores or marvelous AP curriculums) stems from the dedicated teachers. Their understanding of the taught subject is unparalleled and their dedication to the students is unrivaled. They see the potential of every student, and mostly, these teachers go above and beyond their jobs of teaching the material by helping students reach out to prospective colleges and providing invaluable advice (or a listening ear in some cases) to students as they undergo the tradition to adulthood.
The school does a great job of preparing students for a successful collegiate career post-graduation, always challenging students academically. I learned advanced writing techniques and test taking strategies. However, the school fails students of more artistic merit about how to build a stable career/life without implementing a standard four year university experience. Furthermore, financial responsibility was never emphasized, and therefore I struggled after graduating to discover how to find scholarship money, take out loans, and understanding how to pay those loans back. The school does not have a very diverse student population, and therefore lacks insight on designating alternative career paths for students not interested in college. I encourage the school to make students feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to pursue their passions, aiding them with the knowledge they need to support themselves financially if they decide to pursue a career path less traveled.
It’s a very prestigious school with lots of great teachers and opportunities for everyone. There are an infinite number of clubs and extracurricular classes to take to fit any of your desires. I have only had good experiences with the people at my school and how I was treated when I first moved there!
