Congratulations to our students who have been offered and have accepted tech and acting roles in Hamlet and Radium Girls.

Donations can be made any time at stagerightgolden.org. Want to save some money on tickets for the year? Subscription packages are BACK!

Mountain Biking
Congratulations to all 94 demons who contributed to beating Fairview this past weekend in Eagle! Not only did we beat our rival team, we also came in first place for all D1 schools with a whopping 7,594 points! This weekend we had 10 total podiums coming from all different categories! Two of which came from varsity riders Riley Nelson and Luke Ozment, keeping Golden’s streak of winning every single varsity race this season in both boys and girls categories alive. Two stand out performances come from Brendon Beer, a sophomore who won his first ever JV race this weekend, and Darby Coffey who accomplished her season goal of podiuming this race. Thank you to all the coaches, parents, volunteers, and race crew that made this wonderful event possible. Go Demons!
