FORE!
Finally, after an April cancellation, the weather cooperated and the Mile High Academy alumni golfers lined-up their golf carts under sunny blue skies and, like clock-work, shot across the lush fairways at The Ridge in Castle Pines. The competition was fierce for prizes offered in categories such as best putt, longest drive, best score. Coveted prizes, like an iPad, sports tickets, and cash were worth the extra concentration as the MHA supporters made their way back to the clubhouse for burgers and awards.
The annual tournament registered 60 golfers for a day of golf and camaraderie in a lovely Colorado setting on one of the prettiest golf courses in the Denver area.
Mile High Academy is a Christian based school that has been guiding and teaching children in Denver for many years. Last year the school moved to a newer and larger facility in Highlands Ranch to better serve the Academy community.
Kase Vunileva, the beloved principal of the well-respected school is an active leader and instrumental in maintaining the high standards of education, Christian beliefs, and guiding the well-prepared adolescents from the Academy halls to college campuses. It’s easy to see the love and gratitude of parents and alumni who return to support the school throughout the year. The fund-raisers and events held throughout each school year bring families, former students and, entire generations of Mile Academy alumni together to ensure that the spirit and the quality of Mile High Academy continues.
