Mrs. Herscovici's Entrepreneurship class finished their unit on "Exploring Opportunities" by researching famous entrepreneurs. In small groups, students researched an entrepreneur of their choice and were made aware of how many times these entrepreneurs had to fail before their ideas became successful. In the midst of this research, we have been discussing the importance of being able to explain our learning. Essentially, “If you can't explain it to a six-year-old, you don't understand it well enough yourself.” ― Albert Einstein.
If you travel 40 miles per 60 minutes, what’s your average speed per hour, or what’s your average rate of change (the change in distance over the change in time)? Are they different? Students in AP Calculus played cops and speeders last week in class. Students had the opportunity to use real radar guns and math to try and see if they could catch their classmates speeding along Fairview.

The Humanities program honored its first class of graduating students this past May 2023 during Valor’s commencement ceremony. We want to regularly include comments from graduates to help give a sense of how the Humanities program prepared them for the next phase of their lives. For our first alumni check-in, we asked Ben Leikam to reflect on how his time in the Humanities program prepared him for college. Here are his thoughts...
In June a group including 21 students and nine healthcare providers served alongside Mission Ministries in Juarez, Mexico. The experience was one week long and in that short period of time, God worked in and through the team in some amazing ways.
In March our students had the opportunity to use their STEM skills to serve a local Denver school. Valor students built a shed, removed a playground, and prepared a garden.
STEM Night was a great success, as students showcased their work through capstone projects, clubs, and competitions. Over 30 projects and interactive demos were highlighted during the evening. In addition, select students received awards for their innovation, creativity, and service through STEM.
Vertical mattress, simple interrupted, and continuous are all terms that have been thrown around in the Anatomy and Physiology classes recently.
Valor Biology and Honors Biology students have been hard at work observing the visible indications of Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration in algal beads. Students had to use their newly learned lab skills to set up algal beads in a carbon dioxide indicator and observe a color change.
Are you adventurous? Like bungee jumping? Do you think the length of the cord and the size of the person matters when bungee jumping? Would it be smart to lie about your height or weight? Recently, as students learned about linear regression, in AP Stats, they explored this idea through a Barbie Bungee Activity.
It might be remembered by the veterans of this program that the original name for the Humanities endorsement program was the Rhetoric endorsement program.
Students in AP Calculus had a chance to play cops and speeders.
There are a few different paths through the Humanities program.
