Cody Pearce, Head of School at Colorado Early Colleges, reminds us that meaningful change doesn't require waiting for everyone to be on board. His grassroots approach to school improvement shows how focusing on ready-to-move team members and building from within creates the momentum needed for real transformation. This insight reflects our commitment to being Innovation-Ready and empowering our people to lead the way.

Due to inclement weather forecasted this evening and tomorrow morning, CECFC will be closed for a snow day tomorrow, May 6th. Stay safe and warm!

While many teachers worry about how students are using AI, a Fort Collins teacher was recognized for the way she incorporated it into her classes. See link below ⬇️

⭐️Program Spotlight:
Students in the CECFC Principles of Construction class recently had an exciting, hands-on learning experience with a visit from PH Electric!
With guidance from industry professionals, students installed two outlets, two switches, and two wafer LED ceiling lights, gaining real-world electrical skills.
One student truly “lit up” during the experience and is now considering a career pivot to pursue work as an electrician! A huge thank-you to PH Electric for investing in our students and helping build the workforce of tomorrow!

It’s a busy time for enrollment at CEC, and now is the perfect time to spread the word!
