February 20-24 is Concurrent Enrollment Week in Colorado! Concurrent enrollment gives high school students a jumpstart on their college career. This program allows students to earn credit towards their high school diploma, while earning college credits for free, that could apply towards an Associate Degree or a certificate. Over 37,000 high school students take advantage of concurrent enrollment each year, saving families approximately $39 million in college tuition costs! CCCS colleges award approximately 2,700 credentials to students, which significantly reduces the time it takes for these students to complete their college degree by over one year! What a great opportunity for both students and parents. If you have questions or would like more information, please contact Mrs. Weers at the school.

Akron FFA celebrated National FFA Week throughout the week. The chapter promoted a school wide canned food drive, dress up days, an Agricultural Appreciation luncheon, and Ag in the Classroom presentations. Akron FFA was chartered in 1935, and is proud to be celebrating 88 years of the FFA program.

Akron Ram sophomore Merek Charney picked up 4 wins at the state tournament and battled his way through the consolation side of the 113lb. bracket to place 5th at state with a 7-0 win over Pene from North Fork HS. Charney was joined at state by sophomore teammate Tayshaun Thomas (120 lbs.) who didn’t place but picked up some valuable experience. The Rams will have 5 wrestlers returning next season. Congratulations to our wrestlers and coaches on a successful season!
