Press Release: Celebrating Our 2024 Graduation Rates
Senior Austin Tice crosses the stage to receive his diploma from Allie Hansen, Senior Class Sponsor, High School English teacher, and proud EPHS alumni.
We are thrilled to announce the release of the statewide 2023-24 graduation rates and could not be prouder of the accomplishments of our senior class! Estes Park High School (EPHS) experienced a significant increase in its 4-year graduation rate, achieving the highest rate since 2019 at 94.2% well above the state average of 84.2%—a testament to the dedication of our students, staff, and community.
At EPHS, earning a diploma reflects the fulfillment of rigorous requirements. Graduates complete 26 academic credits and log 40 hours of community service—standards that exceed those of many traditional high schools across Colorado, where the typical requirement is 20–24 academic credits. These higher expectations help prepare students for success in college, careers, and beyond, equipping them with the skills and resilience needed for the future.
Superintendent Ruby Bode highlighted the role of staff and the community in this achievement, stating:
"This significant accomplishment reflects not only the perseverance of our students but also the focused efforts of our staff toward continuous school improvement. Together with the support of our families and community, we are preparing our graduates for bright futures."
Thank you to our entire Estes Park community for supporting our students in rising to and meeting these challenges, preparing them for success in college, careers, and beyond. We celebrate their accomplishments and look forward to seeing their impact on the world!
