Student council took a trip to the special education students at Widefield High School to share some holiday spirit!

Discovery's drone team, made up of four students, has been invited to compete in the Western National Championship in San Jose, California! Mikah, Janie, Cloey, and Darian are some of the best in our region! These students are a perfect team and exemplar of the students who make our school a great place to be involved with!

For Phoenix Day this hexter, Mrs. Thomas took us all to the Denver Zoo! It was such a fun day of exploring and adventuring through various animal exhibits. What a day!

Students from Discovery, Widefield, and Mesa Ridge unite in ASL night school with Mrs. Myers! In this video, the students demonstrate the skills they have learned and why they chose to take a night school class at Discovery. Please follow the link below to see some interesting content made by the students and edited by our talented Mrs. Thomas!
