Arrupe Jesuit High School

Arrupe Jesuit High School is a private Catholic coeducational high school run by the USA Central and Southern Province of the Society of Jesus in Denver, Colorado, United States. Founded in 2003, it is part of the Cristo Rey Network and places students in business internships to help defray the cost of tuition. The school is run independently in the Archdiocese of Denver. History Arrupe Jesuit High School was founded by the Missouri Province (renamed USA Central and Southern Province) of the Jesuits and business leaders in Denver as a school using the Cristo Rey model to serve economically disadvantaged students. The school was named after the former superior general of the Jesuit order, Father Pedro Arrupe. In early 2003, the school purchased the Holy Family Catholic School campus in northwest Denver to house the new program. The school opened in August 2003 with a class of ninth graders and added another grade each year until the 2006–2007 school year, which saw the school's first graduating class of 47 students. In 2017 it had a 10-year record of graduating all its students and having all of them accepted into college. Only 36% of Hispanics and 55% of African-Americans graduate from high school in Denver. To expand its enrollment, Arrupe Jesuit High completed an $11-million building program in 2015, which added seven classrooms with advanced technology, student fitness and activities rooms, a new cafeteria, and additional office space. A new chapel was built in the former building, along with three new classrooms and office and work space. Arrupe was chosen as a successful school by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The Gates Foundation has also given $18.9 million in support of Cristo Rey schools across the country. Each year some graduates of Jesuit schools who have finished college volunteer to assist at Arrupe, through the Alum Service Corps program. Curriculum Arrupe requires students to earn about two-thirds of the annual cost of their education through a corporate work-study program where students job-share entry-level positions, working five days a month from mid-August to early June. Students have 6 academic classes per day, and if they fail to do their homework they have mandatory study hall (7th Period). Extracurricular activities Athletic teams at Arrupe compete at the 3A level in Colorado High School Activities Association-sanctioned competition. Teams are fielded in men's soccer, women's volleyball, men's and women's basketball, women's soccer, baseball, and cross-country. In 2023 the first-ever cheer leading program Co-Ed Game Day Cheer, was added to Arrupe. Since then, Coach Mandi Lopez has led the team to an undefeated three-peat of state championships making history as the first sport at Arrupe to ever win a state title.

In December 2002 another expansion was approved, this expansion was designed by Fentress Bradburn Architects LTD at a cost of $69 million. Fentress Bradburn Architects Ltd. proposed this major expansion be carried out in two phases, but on October 4, 2004, the Arvada City Council voted to complete it in three phases. The first phase included the completion of a small theater initially built in 1992, increasing the ballroom/conference facility seating from 500 to 750, providing storage space for hospitality services, providing rehearsal and storage space for performing arts, increasing exhibition space for the history museum and additional collection storage, refurbishing the existing interior, and modifying site work including exterior lighting and signage upgrades. Phase 2 was completed in 2006 and it included construction of a new performing-arts shop, dedicated rehearsal space and self-contained dressing rooms with showers. New patios and gathering spots dot the area outside. The second phase also saw expansion of the art gallery and history museum, improvements to the ballroom, additional rest- rooms, landscaping and 60 new parking spaces.

Astor House (Golden, Colorado)

The Astor House, at 822 12th St. in Golden, Colorado, is a historic stone hotel from the earliest years of Golden, Colorado, United States. It was built in 1867. It has also been known as the Astor House Hotel, Castle Rock House, Hotel Boston and the Astor House Hotel Museum. Associated with prominent area pioneers, it was also a pioneering effort in historic preservation in the region in 1972. It was the second site of Jefferson County, Colorado listed on the National Register of Historic Places, in 1973. It is a two-story building built from hand-cut sandstone. History The Astor House was originally built in 1867 by Seth Lake, a pioneer hotelkeeper who came to the area in 1860 and had owned and operated the Green Mountain House at East Pleasant View, Colorado, Buckeye Hotel at Apex, and Two Mile House in Golden Gate Canyon. An upgrade from his original Lake House hotel on the site, it was carved of sandstone quarried by Charles R. Foreman & Co. at the far west end of 12th Street, upon which the hotel stands. The hotel was constructed by Ernst Osterberg. The premier hostelry of Golden, it served patrons from miners to Territorial legislators and Supreme Court officials, who met nearby in the Loveland Block and Coors Building. Run by Seth and Charlotte Lake into their 70s, the Astor House was Golden's only known hotel not to have served alcohol, as the devout Baptist deacon Seth was a temperance man who would not allow it on his premises. Later, the hotel was owned by German immigrant Ida Goetze. It gradually faded from hotel to boarding house, and was altered by four fires and repaired to its present appearance. Preservation In 1971, the property was acquired by the Golden Downtown Improvement District to be destroyed for a parking lot, a fate befalling a number of Golden's landmarks, including the church Lake had faithfully served. City Councilor Ruben Hartmeister raised concerns about whether a place of its history should be preserved. Standing alone, he was not initially listened to, but Golden's modern historic preservation movement was born. Citizens rallied to the aid of the Astor House and formed the Golden Landmarks Association to try to save it. On June 13, 1972, Golden's people voted to save it, with 69% voting in favor. Afterward, it became the Astor House Hotel Museum, depicting life in the hotel, Golden and Colorado in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries.

Aurora Reservoir

Aurora Reservoir is a 31,650 acre-foot (39,040,000 m3) reservoir located in the far southeastern reach of Aurora, Colorado. Senac Creek and other minor streams flow into the reservoir's three coves, Senac, Marina and Lone Tree, each pointing to the south. The reservoir provides drinking water to the City of Aurora and is also a recreation area. History Aurora Reservoir was built in 1989 at a cost of 41 million dollars and was filled in 1990. The reservoir is used for recreation and to provide water for Aurora, CO, and surrounding communities. Miles of undeveloped prairie originally separated the reservoir from the city's neighborhoods, and its location has been referred to as "Aurora's Outback". However, over 3,500 new homes in the two new suburban communities, Beacon Point and Southshore are currently under construction immediately southwest of the reservoir, in addition to much other development in the area including the Southlands Lifestyle Center (approx 2 miles (3.2 km) west of the reservoir), Cherokee Trail High School and Fox Ridge Middle School (1/2 mile southwest) and thousands of other homes in the vicinity. Recreation The rapid Southeastern expansion of the Denver–Aurora Metropolitan Area has greatly increased attendance and awareness of the reservoir. Many recreational opportunities exist at Aurora Reservoir. There is a small swim beach open seasonally, boat dock, rental equipment shack, 8.5-mile (13.7 km) jogging/biking trail, designated SCUBA diving beach/area in water, and many opportunities for fishermen. In order to protect the purity of the water, only electric boats are allowed, thus limiting full recreational use of the reservoir. Surprisingly, the reservoir is also a relatively popular diving site, largely due to the separate SCUBA beach and designated area in the far Northeastern corner of the lake and also because of a Cessna 310, deliberately sunk in 1994 as a diving attraction, visible at only 30 feet (9.1 m) below the surface. Not surprisingly, it is a popular location for local SCUBA centers to take dive students for their open-water certification. More recently, the reservoir has also become a reputable fishing spot mainly for Trout, Walleye and Catfish, and has truly been in the limelight lately regarding the record for largest catfish caught in Colorado being set at the reservoir in October 2010. The reservoir also hosts a number of community events throughout the year including triathlons, sailing camps, and other local functions.
