Aurora Mental Health Center CCSD Activity Guide • Winter/Spring 2015 • 11 Cherry Creek Schools Earn National and State Recognition

 The Cherry Creek School District is one of just 10 school districts in Colorado to make the College Board’s 5th Annual AP District Honor Roll for increasing access to AP® course work while at the same time maintaining or increasing the percentage of students earning scores of 3 or higher on Advanced Placement Exams.

 Eleven elementary schools in the Cherry Creek School District were included on 5280 Magazine’s list of the Top Public Elementary Schools, based on academic achievement in math, reading AND writing. Those schools are the Challenge School, Cherry Hills Village, Cottonwood Creek, Coyote Hills, Dry Creek, Greenwood, Heritage, High Plains, Homestead, Rolling Hills and Willow Creek.

 Eighteen Cherry Creek schools received awards from the Colorado Dep artment of Education on December 2nd during a ceremony to celebrate 2014 school and district performance results. Four Cherry Creek schools received the Governor’s Distinguished Improvement award, eight Cherry Creek schools received the John Irwin Schools of Excellence award and six Cherry Creek schools received both awards.

 Grandview High School was one of just nine schools in the state to receive the first High School Academic Growth Award from the Colorado Department of Education. The state Legislature approved the honor earlier this year as a way to recognize schools from local districts of all sizes that show marked improvement in reading, writing and math scores over several years, based on measures spelled out in the Colorado Academic Standards.
