Mark your calendars for Saturday, February 28, 2026 - we’re bringing our community together for an unforgettable evening of celebration, impact, and inspiration at the St. Vrain Valley Gala.
This year’s theme, Opportunities Abound, highlights the hands-on learning, specialized programs, emerging technologies, and real-world skill-building that prepare students for success in college, career, and life. Across St. Vrain, students are accessing career and technical training, advanced academics, inclusive services, and innovative student-led initiatives that help them discover their strengths and pursue their goals with confidence.
Proceeds from the Gala will launch our new Student Opportunity Fund, helping students obtain post-secondary training or certifications, access specialized equipment or adaptive tools, and explore entrepreneurial or project-based learning experiences that deepen skills and spark new possibilities.
Join us for dinner, live entertainment, and an exciting auction - together, we can spark innovation, elevate excellence, and open doors for the next generation of learners.
