Telluride High School was recently ranked number 10 in Colorado in the latest US News and World Report Best High Schools Ranking.  This ranking was accompanied by a Gold Medal distinction by the magazine based on College Readiness, as indicated by AP placement testing and student preparedness as determined by state testing such as CSAP.  The number 10 ranking in the State of Colorado equates to a number 334 ranking in the entire United States.  This is a great honor for Telluride High School as one example of the national recognition that our school has achieved. This is the first time THS received Gold Medal Distinction.  We continue to look at opportunities for growth while we take this time to celebrate the work of our students and faculty.  Click here to see the US News and World Report ranking.

Congratulations to the THS Knowledge Bowl team on their participation at the Colorado State Knowledge Bowl Meet in Colorado Springs, held  on the Colorado College campus. 51 teams competed, ranging from 1A to 5 A schools. The competition was a two-day event, on Thursday and Friday, April 19-20. The last time we had a THS team qualify and attend the state competition was 20 years ago!

Our team consisted of Senior Mitchell Morton, our captain, Lizzie MacMillan, Amber Furnee, Brian Ensor and Dalton Metz. Parent Susan Ensor and her two 7th graders Bailey and Kevin (who are on our MS k-bowl team) traveled to Colorado Springs to cheer the team on in the competitions.

We started out VERY strong on the initial written test, and held our own for the first couple of rounds.  We ended up in the middle of the pack, with a 7th place finish in the 2A division.  Thanks to Faculty Sponsor Sandy McLaughlin for her work with the team.  Here is to a great year for the THS Knowledge Bowl Team!!!
