♦ Statewide Moratorium on CHSAA Athletic

Competitions, Practices & Meetings ​♦

Effective Friday March 13th, 2020 there is a statewide moratorium on all athletic competitions, practices and meetings of any kind until April 6th. On April 6th the moratorium will be re-evaluated and the determination will be made whether to lift the moratorium, how long it will continue, or if the spring athletic season will be canceled. Athletic competitions and practices scheduled for March 12th may be conducted. Starting the morning of March 13th no practices, organized meetings or “informal” get togethers are to be conducted. With the fluidity of this situation please recognize dynamics could change based on decisions by the Poudre School District, CHSAA or the State of Colorado.

♦ Colo. & National Secondary Principal of the Year ♦

Our very own Dr. Tom Dodd was selected as the 2016 Colorado Middle Level and Secondary Principal of the Year by the Colorado Association of School Executives (CASE) and the Colorado Association of Secondary School Principals (CASSP). As Colorado's nominee for the National Secondary Principal of the Year award given by the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), Dr. Dodd then became 1 of 3 national finalists joining conference calls with the NASSP and Lesher students, parents, and staff, submitting addendum essays, participating in panel discussions, and interviewing with a group of distinguished judges from the education community and NASSP staff in Washington, DC. He was then recognized as the 2017 National Principal of the Year in a surprise announcement at Lesher during National Principals Month! We're so proud to have Dr. D as the captain of our ship.
