Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming education as we know it, influencing everything from classroom interactions to broader societal structures. As part of its commitment to preparing students for an evolving technological landscape, Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) is actively engaging in conversations about AI’s role in learning and embracing appropriate integration in the classroom.

BVSD is continuing to monitor enrollment in all schools across the district and keep the Board and our community informed on this important topic. 

The Boulder Valley School District is proud to celebrate the Class of 2025 and its many varying accomplishments. Among those, we are pleased to share the names of students who have been selected for outstanding academic honors in our district.

This year’s graduation season is extra special at BVSD because the District had its first class of students who obtained the Seal of Climate Literacy. In April, as a fitting tribute to Earth Month, twenty students representing numerous BVSD high schools presented portfolios that illustrated their “green trailway” during their time in the district and then received their Seal of Climate Literacy certificates, medals (made of sustainably sourced wood) and bamboo cords to wear at graduation. 

Riley Nuttycombe, a graduating senior at New Vista is relieved to be finished with high school, after a year of working on her culminating senior project. But not because she’s tired of learning, she’s ready for the next challenge.

Nuttycombe enrolled in New Vista following the years of covid online learning, seeking a new social group and a building-based school experience before heading to college.

What she didn’t expect was that her time there would culminate in a senior project about space suit design, and multiple visits to the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in Utah, the second of four simulated Mars habitats in the world, built and managed by the Mars Society.
