The in-person ceremony will be held in a safe, socially distant way, and individual time slots will be given to students to be recognized by staff. There is no requirement or obligation to attend.

“It’s been a unique year for education in Colorado, and while other schools may have struggled, students at PPOS and CPA never missed a day of instruction, which allowed our students to keep moving forward,” said Head of School Nicole Tiley. “It really is a great time of year to stop and be thankful for all they have accomplished.”

Collectively, the graduating class reports it has been accepted to colleges and universities across Colorado and beyond, including Colorado State, University of Northern Colorado, University of Colorado, and Metro State University.

Rachael Adler, the PPOS Valedictorian, will be attending the University of Northern Colorado in the fall, and has an interest in working with animals. The Salutatorian is Myra Carrera. For CPA, the Valedictorian is Chloe Bailey and the Salutatorian is Alexandra Poland.

"All of the staff at PPOS were extremely helpful during my time there,” said Rachael. “My classes were very engaging, and I enjoyed the relationships I built with my classmates over the years. I feel very prepared and ready to head off to college this fall.”

Prior to the pandemic, students enrolled in virtual school for a number of reasons—some were looking to escape bullying, some may have fallen academically off track, and others were looking for an alternative to the traditional classroom setting.

PPOS and CPA students access a robust online curriculum in the core subjects and a host of electives and attend live virtual classes taught by state-certified teachers.
