Boulder Valley High School Wins Academic Growth Award

BOULDER, CO -- A Boulder Valley School District high school was recognized by the state department of education for being among eight schools in the state whose students achieved the most academic growth.

Colorado Education Commissioner Dr. Katy Anthes honored schools and districts Thursday at an event at the Denver Art Museum.
