A bald eagle swooping down to catch a fish during the NatureBridge trip is a moment Will says he’ll never forget from his time at Mackintosh.

Next year, he’ll head to Valor Christian High School, where he hopes to explore STEM clubs and possibly cross country.

For graduation, Will will share his well-known mechanical skills and the creativity behind them.

He’s inspired by Jocko Willink’s advice: “You already know what the right thing to do is. You just gotta do it.”

Keep building great things, William – the future is yours to create!

Baseball has always been a big part of Sebastian’s story, so it’s only fitting that it will take center stage during his graduation presentation.

Sebastian is heading to Heritage High School next fall, where he plans to continue both baseball and theater.

His favorite Mackintosh memory was the NatureBridge trip, and he’s inspired by Rafael Devers’ quote: “I know what kind of player I am, and that is where I stand.”

Confident, focused, and ready for what’s next – keep aiming high, Sebastian!

What a joyful and heartfelt performance from our PreK/K students! 🌟

This year’s play, set at a whimsical camp inspired by the timeless tales of Mother Goose, reminded us all of the simple but important lessons that stories can teach — keep trying, tell the truth, follow the rules, be kind, and believe in yourself. Our youngest performers brought these messages to life with courage, creativity, and so many smiles.

As we celebrate this wonderful production, we also say a bittersweet goodbye to the incredible legacy of the Mackintosh Performing Arts program. For years, our stages have been filled with music, laughter, imagination, and unforgettable moments that helped students grow in confidence and community.

To Mrs. Katies and every student, teacher, director, and family member who made the arts such a special part of Mackintosh — thank you. The memories and impact will live on long after the curtain closes.

Parsa’s graduation presentation will highlight something uniquely his own: running computer programs in Minecraft.

Some of his favorite Mackintosh memories include Cal-Wood in 6th grade and Future Problem Solvers between 5th and 6th grade.

Always curious and inventive, Parsa is someone who enjoys exploring how things work and imagining what they could become. He’s excited to continue exploring at Littleton High School next year.

We can’t wait to see where your creativity leads you, Parsa!

One of Kellan’s favorite Mackintosh memories was taking the stage as Nick Bottom in A Midsummer Night’s Dream with his classmates – a fitting highlight for someone whose love for the performing arts has been a lifelong passion.

Next, Kellan is heading to Heritage High School and bringing that same creativity and energy to his next chapter.

Kellan is inspired by Eminem’s lyrics:

“Cause sometimes you just feel tired
Feel weak, and when you feel weak
You feel like you wanna just give up
But you gotta search within you
Try to find that inner strength...”

From theatre to tennis and beyond, Kellan is ready to make the most of every opportunity ahead. Keep shining, Kellan!

Henry’s graduation performance will feature Mozart’s Piano Sonata No. 16 in C Major, a perfect reflection of the focus and dedication he brings to piano.

He’s heading to Colorado Academy next year, where he plans to continue piano, ultimate frisbee, and rock climbing.

A favorite Mackintosh memory for Henry was watching the Future Problem Solvers team perform their skit at the state competition.

The quote that inspires him comes from Lao Tzu: “Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.”

Congratulations, Henry – your journey is just beginning!

Gregory’s graduation spotlight will feature drumming, a passion he’ll carry with him to Littleton High School along with interests like D&D and Magic: The Gathering.

His favorite memories of his time at Mackintosh are the trips to Crow Canyon and NatureBridge.

Gregory is inspired by Charles Wadsworth’s words: “By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he has a son who thinks he’s wrong.”

Whether behind a drum set or around a gaming table, Gregory brings thoughtfulness and creativity wherever he goes. Congratulations, Gregory!

Elizabeth is taking her love of musical theater to Littleton High School next year, where the stage is sure to feel like home.

When asked what inspires her, she chose Mae Jemison’s words: “Never be limited by other people's imagination; never limit others because of your own limited imagination.”

Her favorite Mackintosh memories include both the NatureBridge and Crow Canyon trips – adventures full of discovery, laughter, and friendship.

Whether in theater, music, or taekwondo, Elizabeth brings imagination and heart to everything she does. Congratulations, Elizabeth!
