Did you know that Akron School has had nine Boettcher Scholarship winners? The Boettcher Scholarship is a merit-based scholarship for Colorado high school seniors that is awarded in partnership with our state’s four year, nonprofit institutions of higher education. A Boettcher applicant must demonstrate superior scholastic ability/intellectual curiosity, leadership, service, character, and more. The panel cares deeply about lived experience and the context in which a student has thrived as a leader, either because of or in spite of personal circumstances. Winners of the Boettcher are awarded a four year full expenses paid scholarship to any university in Colorado.

Akron winners are:

1958 Carroll L. Waton

1966 Linda L. Berger

1970 Steven C Denham

1976 Janet K. WIlliams

1979 Lorilynn Wohler

1996 Jonathan O'Neil

2002 David P. Hall

2006 Francis K. Hall

2009 Bruce K. Hall

Proud to be a Ram!

Our current 10th and 11th grade Rams and their parents attended their 2024 - 25 school year orientation. A big thank you to Mrs. Weers and Mrs. Houston for their presentation and the opportunities they are providing for our students.

It's a great time to be a Ram!

Akron FFA students participated in more District contests Wednesday. We had two Quiz Bowl teams, a Food Science team, and an Employment Skills candidate. Congratulations to Brock Swedlund on his accomplishments in Employment Skills. He will go on to represent the District at State Convention in June. Also, congratulations to Sierra Brown and Wesley Lewis on receiving District Office positions for the following year.

Go Rams!
