Colorado Academy Upper School Principal Max Delgado opened the Upper School Awards Assembly by addressing why these annual awards have always been important—in the past, the present, and the future.
“Many of the awards we’ll commemorate today are deeply rooted in the history of the school and in our values,” Delgado said.
“They represent our legacy of scholarship and citizenship. Caring deeply about doing our best work has always been a part of what it means to be at Colorado Academy.”
