Long before statewide support existed, our district committed to providing comprehensive, inclusive and medically accurate sexual health education because teachers here understand what our students face. For years, our ability to teach comprehensive health education depended on inconsistent funding, which prevented students from receiving the supported programs they needed. Last school year, seventh-graders increased their understanding of critical content aligned to the Colorado Comprehensive Health Standards by 22%, eighth-graders by 13%, and high school students by 31%. These trends reflect a community where students feel supported, informed and connected, and where education is reinforced by consistent, comprehensive health instruction. When students receive consistent, comprehensive health education and feel supported in school, their long-term outcomes improve in ways that align with Colorado’s postsecondary workforce and education goals.
