Gateway H.S.

1. Cherry Creek Arts Festival - Gateway High School was one of 24 schools in Colorado chosen to participate in the Janus Student Art Buying Program. Three students from Gateway will go to the Cherry Creek Arts Festival on July 7th with a budget of $500 to select art to purchase for the school.

2. Scholastic Art Awards – Gateway had 24 pieces entered for consideration for the Scholastic Art Awards and two students’ pieces were selected for the show:

• Beth Ackerland received a silver key for a mixed media piece
• Nathaniel Sua received an honorable mention for a pencil drawing

The winners' work will be on exhibit at RMCAD from February 11 - March 2 in the Philip J. Steele Gallery and Rotunda Pavilion. Come see the talent of these emerging artists and support a program that promotes creativity in our schools.

3. Cherry Creek Mask Project – This year Gateway was asked to participate in The Mask Project, a benefit for Denver Hospice who provides end-of-life care throughout the Denver area. Four students created masks for consideration and Jessica Bacon’s mask was chosen for the online auction. Her mask will be auctioned off in April – more information to come closer to the time of the auction. More details about the project can be found @ www.themaskproject.org

Former Gateway Graduate and His American Idol Audition

A huge congratulations goes out to the girls swim program who defeated rangeview last night by 1 single point.

This is the first head to head victory for your lady olys since 1997.

Open enrollment forms for the 2012-2013 school year will run from Jan 17th through May 1st.

Any new students residing outside of Gateway’s attendance area must submit an open enrollment form. 

Returning students who have moved out of our boundary may complete the current school year, but must submit an open enrollment form if they wish to continue. Student’s completing their 11th grade year or returning students who have already been approved do not need to submit an open enrollment form.

Simply submitting the form does not guarantee acceptance. Parents will be notified after May 1st regarding acceptance or denial.

Open enrollment forms are available in our main office, my office, and on the district website under centralized admissions.

If you have any questions, please contact me.

The first big deadline for ordering the custom class Graduation Invitations, accessories and the Graduation Cap & Gown is quickly approaching. Our Herff Jones representative wants to remind you that you can save a lot money by ordering prior to the December 14th group ordering deadline. After December 14th, prices go up when you individually order and not all graduation items will be available so please don't miss this deadline. Since In-School ordering is complete, the easiest way now is online at www.uniquerecognition.com and use their simple ordering website with your debit or credit card. You can also mail your order form and deposit to the address located on bottom reverse side of your order form. If you didn't receive your ordering packet from your senior ask them for it or please stop by the school office and pick one up right away. If you have specific questions, please call the representatives office at (970) 663-2668 as they are very helpful.
