A MESSAGE FROM:

Boulder High School

2024-2025

Boulder High School is a school within the Boulder Valley School District (BVSD). Located in Boulder, Colorado, this tuition-free co-educational public school serves approximately 2,000 diverse students in grades 9-12. Founded in 1875 as part of the Preparatory School for the University of Colorado (CU), Boulder High is the oldest established high school in Colorado. To this day, we maintain a strong and unique partnership with CU. As an Advanced Placement (AP) Focus School, Boulder High offers … one of the most comprehensive programs in the state, with nearly 30 AP courses across multiple disciplines and grade levels.  Visual and performing arts have an excellent reputation and include pottery, drawing and painting, and photography. Boulder High has an arts focused pathway, which enables students to deeply integrate art into their academic and personal life with the exposure to art and artists in the local community. Boulder High also boasts the only darkroom for high school photography students in the Boulder Valley district.  Boulder High has one of the district?s largest Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education (CLDE) programs, serving students from 30 countries who speak dozens of languages with English as their second language. We also offer classes in five world languages: Spanish, French, German, Japanese and Latin. Our downtown Boulder location provides our students with an enriched, expanded learning environment, where walking field trips allow convenient access to a plethora of learning opportunities, including visiting guest speakers/artists, cultural community activities, and CU?s libraries. Our proximity to CU benefits many of our juniors and seniors who take classes there. Additionally, students can engage in our Front Range Community College and Metro State University concurrent enrollment programs, which offers another opportunity for students to earn college credits prior to graduation. Boulder High is rich in diversity, and our staff and student body embrace, value, and respect the many cultural and social differences present throughout our school. Boulder High continues to utilize data to analyze and address possible root causes for the continued disparity between special education and our Latino students when compared to the rest of the student population.
