Today is one of our greatest learning experiences and accomplishments.
Lovewell was among about 1,500 Boulder Valley and 700 St. Vrain Valley high school seniors who donned caps, gowns and smiles and eagerly received their diplomas Saturday. Boulder, Broomfield, Centaurus, Fairview, Monarch, Nederland and Arapahoe Ridge high schools held commencement ceremonies for the Boulder Valley School District's Class of 2001. In St. Vrain Valley School District, students from Erie, Frederick, Longmont, Lyons, Niwot and Skyline high schools received their diplomas. The Centaurus graduates hooted and hollered, while family and friends cheered wildly from the packed stands of Warrior Stadium. Sheena Brown, one of three students chosen to speak, commended her fellow students for keeping their school strong even as the class got smaller when Monarch High opened in neighboring Louisville three years ago.
