In 4 Days!!

GOAL High School wrapped up its 2024-25 school year with a bang! Colorado’s largest high school hosted 17 graduation ceremonies over four days from May 28th to May 31st! These culminating events showcase the success of GOAL’s flexible online curriculum paired with face-to-face support.

Graduations featured inspiring student speakers who overcame adversity and earned college credits at no cost. Many graduates received workforce and industry certificates, with some even achieving associate degrees before their high school diplomas! The GOAL Staff Scholarship, funded entirely by GOAL staff donations, was awarded to 10 students statewide in the amount of $1,000.

In the “four corners area of Colorado, Elijah Bowman from Cortez, CO, shared, “Life begins where your comfort zone ends,” emphasizing how adversity shapes character. In the opposite (northeast) corner of the state, student Lane Randall of Sterling echoed this sentiment, crediting GOAL’s support and opportunities for his success and being clear that he “wouldn’t be here without this school.”
