Grand Opening, Mile High Academy

From Yale to Highlands Ranch, the Mile High Academy made a dream come true on Sunday, August 16, 2015. It opened in a larger location in a scrubbed and shining new campus. The atmosphere was one of blessings while families, friends, students and teachers celebrated the new school year. The new campus opens with 215 students from pre-school to seniors.

From its humble beginnings (1913), now over 100 years ago, Mile High Academy is among one of the oldest and longest standing Christian private schools in the Denver Metro area. At its core Mile High Academy has constantly endeavored to bring young people an excellent academic experience.

At Mile High Academy you will find a community centered around learning, exploring and serving. An atmosphere that is intentional about shaping hearts and minds through vast opportunities inside and outside the classroom.

The Grand Opening is a new chapter of this legendary school that has provided educational as well as life experiences to the future of its students. The festivities were a celebration of hard work, group efforts and long hours of support from volunteers and staffers. Students, teachers, churches, parents and the community were there to celebrate the monumental year 2015-2016, at Denver’s oldest adventist school.

Mile High Academy is indeed a sparkling gem of a school. It smelled brand new, even though, it has taken months to refurbish the campus into a functioning institute for learning and spiritual growth.

Greeting the visitors were food trucks selling snow cones, funnel cakes, yogurt, balloons, while Vern’s Mini Train wound around the parking lot with smiling children of all ages. It was a scramble to get a seat in one of the red, blue, pink and yellow cars that proved trains always put a smile on little faces.

Classes will begin on the 24th of August. It was clear at the celebratory event, students and teachers are raring to get the business of learning started. With a new athletic field, new playground equipment, new gymnasium and healthy, smiling faces eager for a new year with friends, activities and learning. If they rang the morning bell on Sunday, I believe the students would have been happy filing in for a day in the life of Mile High Academy.

The MHA mission is to provide an excellent, Christ-centered environment that empowers young people to excel. While pursuing this mission, the school lives by educational and Christian values to develop a community of learning and spiritual enlightenment.
