Euclid Middle School students made us proud at the statewide Latinos in Action Conference! Held at Red Rocks Community College, 38 students from LIA classes connected with peers, learned from inspiring leaders, and shined in competitions—earning Honorable Mentions in Short Film and 3rd Place in Visual Arts! #LPSWeGrowTogether #LPSCrecemosJuntos #LatinosInAction


The Euclid Middle School choir recently performed Magical Flower Tree—a brand-new commissioned song based on a story by a young author named Aubri.
Working with composer Leah Tracy and the nonprofit Sing Me A Story, students brought Aubri’s heartfelt story to life on stage. Meeting Aubri in person made the performance even more emotional and unforgettable.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—and a highlight of the year for our talented students! Watch the performance at https://youtu.be/m1MJziPEYFM

Mike Montgomery Named 2025 Colorado Agriculture in the Classroom Outstanding Teacher
Colorado Agriculture in the Classroom (CoAITC) is proud to announce Mike Montgomery of Littleton Public Schools' EPIC Campus as the recipient of the 2025 Outstanding Teacher Award. This prestigious honor recognizes an educator who has made exceptional strides in integrating agriculture into the classroom to foster agricultural literacy among students.
With over 36 years of experience in education, Montgomery currently leads the Natural Resources Pathway at the EPIC Campus, where he teaches plant science, hydrology, horticulture, wildlife management, and conservation ecology to high school students. His innovative, hands-on curriculum connects students - many of whom have no agricultural background - to the natural world through real-world applications in food production, pollination, sustainability, and environmental stewardship.
From establishing a hydroponic container farm that supplies fresh produce to school cafeterias and local food banks, to creating an apiary with six live honeybee hives, Montgomery's work demonstrates how agriculture intersects with science, community service, and career exploration. Students in his classes don beekeeping suits, study bee biology and behaviors, build insect hotels for native pollinators, and collaborate across school pathways to market and distribute - truly illustrating agriculture's reach beyond the classroom.
"Mike Montgomery is an educational magician," said Sue Pahl, a Colorado Master Beekeeper and past president of the High Land Beekeeping Club. "He has inspired an unlikely group of suburban teenagers to develop a deep passion for some of our most important livestock - honey bees."
Montgomery's influence extends well beyond his classroom. He collaborates with educators in other disciplines, community organizations like the Denver Botanic Gardens, and local beekeeping clubs to further expand opportunities for his students.
As the 2025 award recipient, Montgomery will receive an honorarium and travel expenses to attend the 2025 National Agriculture in the Classroom Conference, to be held June in Minneapolis, Minn., where he will be recognized alongside outstanding educators from across the United States.
"This award is a testament to Mike's dedication, creativity, and passion for preparing students to understand the vital role agriculture plays in our lives," said Jennifer Scharpe, executive director of Colorado Agriculture in the Classroom. "He is helping build a generation that sees and values the connections between food, environment, and society."

Congratulations to Littleton High School Principal Dr. Tom Velazquez for being named the Principal of the Year by the Colorado Association of Latino/a Administrators and Superintendents. Dr. Velazquez was honored at a recent awards ceremony held at Red Rocks Community College.
He was described by his peers as a champion for equity, achievement, and college readiness. Under Dr. Velazquez’s leadership, Littleton High School has experienced the highest four-year graduation rate in the past seven years. LHS students achieved the highest percentage of growth in English language arts in LPS as measured by the Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) test, and 98 percent of seniors meet college readiness benchmarks in English language arts and mathematics. The school’s attendance rates have improved, and restorative interventions have increased by 81 percent, which leads to fewer suspensions. Congratulations to Dr. Velazquez and the staff and students of Littleton High School!

LPS is celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week all week! Here in LPS, we are fortunate to have some of the finest teachers in the country, and we take immense pride in honoring their dedication and hard work! 🍎🌟
