GHS Yearbook 2013

This year, students from Golden High School visited Kamuela in Hawaii , Salamanca in Spain and several countries in Europe In Kamuela , Hawaii , students visited the Hawaii Prep Academy for two weeks. During those two weeks , students participated in a multi-disciplinary program that includes marine science , ecology , vocalnology and Hawaiian history and culture. Meanwhile , another group of Golden students spent five weeks in Spain , living with host families for the duration of the trip During their time there , students attended the University of Salamanca and took classes with other students from around the world These classes were mostly cultural classes and allowed students to learn about dancing , cooking and guitar On weekends , students also participated in excursions to nearby towns in the region of Toledo , Segovia and Madrid. The students who went to Europe this summer visited London , Paris , Venice and Rome. This trip lasted ten days and allowed students to visit many famous landmarks such as Big Ben , the Eiffel Tower , the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Colosseum . Although each trip had its ups and downs , the students who went on these trips will never forget the experiences they had.

For the staff and students at Golden High School , giving back is very important Every year, we hold many events to support important issues and help serve people in need Through our clubs and organizations, we have many opportunities to give back to others This year , Ms. Onaga , Key Club and Mrs Norby headed to Pine Ridge in South Dakota They delivered 60 necessity boxes to teenagers Mrs Norby visits Pine Ridge four times per year with her non-profit organization , Friends of the Lakota Nation They donate items to families in need and also help repair houses FCCLA also held an event last spring to prevent students from texting and driving Each student was given a ring to wear and signed a pledge to remind them not to text and drive In September, a shred-a-than was held by GHS to help raise funds for Ryan Hayviews , a student at Evergreen High School with a serious head injury Our school is very involved outside of school. We enjoy lending a helping hand and getting involved with communities around the country At Golden High School, giving back is one of the most important things we do .

Bullying is a huge problem in high sc hools today

Leaving the comfort of your home might bring about some fear, especially when you are leaving your own country to go to a sc hool you have never heard of in a completely different geographical halfway around the globe Imagine leaving your family and your friends to have one of the most interestin g experience s of your life . As a foreign exchange student , you may be going to a completely new sc hool for nine months or more, learning from teachers in a different environment , and meeting new people and friends All of these things would make most people feel pretty indimidated, but for the three foreign ex c hange students here at GHS this year , Sam Graham , Sun Jink e and N ao Yo shioka, it has been a wonderful experience that they will never forget. For each of the three young women, they have embarked on an amazing adventure that has given them far more edu c ation than they could have imagined In all aspects, they have taken the chance to get invovled and be come students at Golden High School.

Usually foreign exchange students come and go at Golden High School. This year a special teacher exchange oc c urred between Mr Francis ( originally from Salisbury , England) and Mrs Goodwin (from Wollongong , Australia) . They exchanged schools, students and even houses with our own teachers, Mr . & Mrs . Kottcamp . Although Mr . Francis misses his family and dog, as well as his house , he says he likes the school's environment and says that everyday is different. Although he is not that fond of the early start time , he will remember lots of students and states , "Their friendly and polite personalities have made this an unforgettable experience " Mrs Goodwin says she loves the environment at Golden High School and that her students are very friendly and enthusiastic Although she also misses family and their dog , she claims that there is a lot of opportunities to learn from her students and its enjoyable to be working in such a different teaching environment Meanwhile , the Kottcamps have been having their own set of experiences in the land down under . A ccording to Mr . Kottcamp , "It has been fun learning a new language and being accused of having an ac c ent The people in general are great here and the countryside is beautiful. We are really going to miss the o cean and beaches." They do enjoy the late start time (8 : 30 am) and the Australian school sc hedule, which meets for ten weeks at a time with two week breaks in between and a six week summer vacation For both sets of teachers , the experience has been meaningful and edu cational, which ha s made an impact on students and teachers both here at Golden and abroad!

Since Colo r ado is a swing state, we h ad a very busy elect ion yea r as the presidential candidates worke d to gain our votes Barack Obama v1s1ted Golden in Li o n s Park to give a speech and later made an appeara n ce 1n Congress Park Both Republi can candi dates, Mitt Romney an d Paul Ryan , took some tim e to v1s1t D'evelyn HS , Lak ewood HS and made a Joint appea rance at Red Ro cks. The first Presidential debate of the election was also held at the University of Denver . All 1n all, both ca ndidate s worked hard to move votes 1n thei r direction , which was very exciting for the great state of Colorado!

Every four years, presidential h opefu l s start getting bu sy o n the ca mpaign trail to win enough e lectoral votes to become th e next President of the United States. Thi s year, Barack Obama , up for relect1on , ran aga i nst fo rm er Massac husetts gover ner, Mitt Romney As candidates got down to business , they spent many hours touring the country, making appearances 1n important swing states suc h as Colorado. In Augu st, Republican Vice Pres1dent1al Candidate, Paul Ryan, v1s 1t ed Lakewood H igh School where Ale x In sc o e ( 12) was lucky enough to get a picture with h1m1 It was a close race thi s year and even 1n our own sc h ool, where a mock election was held during ACE classes in September , the candidates were neck 1n neck for the wi n In the end, G H S called 1t r i g ht and Barack Obama became the 44th President of th e United States on the 6th of N ovember, 2012

Thinking maps are visual tools used for learning Thi s year, we have in corporated the use of eigh t different thinking maps int o each sub j ect area. Maps i nclude the circ l e map , the bubble map , the flow map , the brace map , the tree map, the double bubble map, the multi-flow map , and the bridge map Eac h o ne of these maps has a different purpose Th e circle map i s used to define a subj ect in context, th e bubble map is used to describe a subject with adjectives, and the tree map is used for classifyi ng or grouping Go ld en Hi g h Sc hool is now promoting th e use of thinking m aps to help st ud ents N ot only do thinking maps help us think , but th ey are also very helpfu l while looking at a sub ject in depth, writing essays, planning projects , and organizing and outli ning our thinking By using thinking maps, we're developing ski ll s that help us understand the subjects that we are engaged in For m any st ud ents, thinking maps gives them a t oo l to be successful in the class room

" Thinking maps Th ey make you think " -Zak John son (1 O)

"They really help me organize my thinking " -Evelyn Perez (9)

" Thinking maps are very helpful while writing essays '' -Desti ny Florez (9)

Hangouts and date places are the spaces where we socialize Whether it's our off block , lunch time or on the weekend, everyone has a destination that they enjoy For some, it might be at Colorado Mills Mall, the Golden Heights Skate Park , or just being at home Weekends are all about activities with friends or family such as going to the movies, hanging out at a friend's house , or taking a date out to dinner In Golden , there is so much to do! In the warmer months , taking a stroll down by The Creek or · getting in some tubing is a popular pastime . During our off block, we have some free time to grab some grub from the cafeteria or pick up a cup of joe at the coffee shop across the street . Many students spend their free time in the library, not just to get caught up on work but also to have a few laughs and crack some jokes with friends For most students, we feel at ease in our hangout spot s, our spe cial niches that allow us to spend time with friends and loved ones in and out of school.

Ab o ve Th ere are a variety of places students can go t o hang out with f riends in and around Golden St ude n ts ca n always get creative abou t spending free time including taking some tim e out fo r a game of hacky sack in t he parking lot

Lov e, Mom and Dad

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you! I will love and mi ss you forever Love , Nick

If ever there is a tomorrow when we are not together , there is someth ing you must always remember ; you are braver than you be l ieve, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think But the most important thing is, even if we are apart, I' ll always be with you

Love , Mathew

For those of you that didn't know her, I have a story to tell you . For those of you that did, I imagine you ' ll agree with what I have to say about my beautiful , amazing , best friend Breanna Hall. Breanna was no ordinary girl ; beyond being witty , funny , caring, smart , and sarcastic , she was the best friend I could have asked for . Breanna strived to do her best in everything she did and was very passionate about the things she liked to do, like taking nap s and playing softball. Breanna always spoke her mind and was never afraid to say what she thought or felt She didn't car e what people thought about her and whether she loved you or hated you , she made sure you knew about it. She did everythin in her own way and nobody could stop her from doing so I fe e' very blessed for how long she was in my life and will never forget the things she taught me, which was to never be afraid of what I have to say and to never stop pursuing the things that make you happy Through her death , I have also learned that no one is guaranteed tomorrow so cherish the people you have in your life and don't forget to remind them that they are important to you I will always remember Breanna as the greatest friend I cou Id have asked for and the overall, truly amazing person that she was -Em ily Broga n

This year , Golden High School lost a wonderful, beautiful student , Breanna H all. Her cousin , Ciera Bruno , first remember playing legos with Breanna at their grandmas. She says she had an outstanding sense of humor and was a good perso n who cared about others During her years at Golden, Breanna played on the Demons Softball team She loved t he game an d p layed hard. Katie M cconn el said , " She had t he d r ive to get better and NEVER gave up " She played three years of JV Softba l l for the Demons She always had a great att itude and enjoyed being in the outfield! Her personal ity was like no other , and she would help teammates come together "She was not in any specific group of friends , she was everyone ' s friend ," said Rac hel Joh a "She was always really friendly and had a great sense of humor ' Breanna got her chance to be on Varsity as a senior, which she had worked for during her high school career . "Her first varsity game was against Denver North ; watching her get on base in a varsity game was her goal When she accomplished that on tha first day , everyone was happy for her," said Rachel. Breanna's hard work, friendliness and dedication will never be forgotten by those who knew her on and off the field

"Friends and relationships got me through high school. It 1s a crazy an d fun experience, so enjoy 1t while 1t lastsl" -Kenn y And erson

I Will Finish Strong!

Jennifer Berganza(12)

Jennifer is the sixth out of eight kids She is originally from Los Angeles, California and has lived in eight different states. She has attended twelve different schools, which makes our school the thirteenth. Jennifer is a very athletic person and school is her number one priority Some of her sibilings look up to her, especially because of the childhood they grew up in. Over the years, she's had too overcome a lot of obstacles, like an accident that caused a near-death experience and dealing with her mother's cancer. Jennifer doesn't let them destroy her determination to stay in school, and she will be the first in her family to graduate with a high school diploma. She hopes that after she graduates she gets into DU to study law and psychology Jennifer leaves us by saying, 11 1 want to be an inspiration to people like me and let them know there's always a wonderful ending if you're determined because we are survivors!"

From The Dark To The Light

Jaime Mette is originally from South Dakota. She is a quiet and studious person that mostly keeps to herself, but once you get to know her, it's easy to see she's a beautiful person as well. Jaime was on the swimming team for two years of high school. Then , she was diagnosed with chronic depre ssion and things got difficult from there Jaime faced many obstacles because some days she would be happy and other days, she would just want to fall into an abyss This would result in her being anti-social and very timid But, her mother was her biggest support and helped a lot Jaime is now involved in the Anime Club and is proud of herself. She is glad that she's good at something and has learned to control her condition She hopes that after she graduates this year that she'll get into college for film studies and will get a degree Jaime encourages underclassman to be true to themselves and do not try to be something they're not in order to make someone else happy

Today, Tomorrow, and The Future

Jordyn Komoras ( 1 2)

Jordyn Komoras is our senior class president. She is also a member of Jefferson County's Council and was elected as county director! She is very talented and a hard worker. Jordyn first got involved in student council in elementary school but was unable to participate in middle school because they did not have a StudCo. So, when she came to Golden her freshman year, she was excited to continue getting involved with the school, and every year, she strived to achieve her goals. She was very honored when she was named class president. "It was a very rewarding feeling when I won because I was very nervous when elections came; seeing the amount of votes I had made me proud!" she said. Her biggest advocate is Ms. Eckenwiler because she supports them 110% percent no matter how crazy their ideas are, and she's always there for student council. Jordyn has a lot of stress at times but says it's her strength to step up and take initiative. She loves what she does. She leaves us by saying, "Enjoy it because at Golden we are like a family; we come in as freshman separated but come together as seniors because we all share something that you won't share with anyone else!"

Getting his math

At Golden High School, math is a very important subject. We offer c lasses from Algebra I and Geometry to AP Cal c ulus or AP statistics "The teachers push us to our limits , " says Al i C a st rellon (11) Many students at Golden are in classes above the average level in Colorado and are very advan c ed in math Although , for some students , math is also very challenging For this reason , we have math interventions and a math lab at Golden High School, which take s place every Tuesdays and Thursdays during A C.E During this time , teachers and fellow students are dedi c ated to helping students in math . The math lab also ha s a few math tutors from Colorado School of Mines. Although many students may feel that they will not need math down the road, it creates a base for many of America' s job s. The math teachers at Golden are dedicated to givin g student s a strong foundation in math for many of the c areer s they may be vying for in the future

"Even though math 1s frustrating 1t 1s my favorite subJect" -Lizzelle Leopold (11)

Science classes promote great hands-on learning We have many different Science courses that student s are able to take at Go lden , includ i ng Earth Science, Biology, Marine Biology, Chemistry , Physics, Technical Processes , and Astronomy "There ' s noth i ng I look forward to more than a science lab," says Angelica Lopez (11) "It helps me to understand what we're doing in class when we c an apply it to our labwork " Golden ' s unique scien ce department even extends to extracurricular activities, and a club, run by Mrs . Bryson and Dr. Graves , tests the Clear Creek River on c e a month for pollution It 1s not unu sal to see the scien ce classes tackling every day problems 1n the halls at GHS The teachers give the students many different approa che s to the same material , which gives every type of learner a chan ce to understand the ways of science

English class is where students gather to discuss and sometimes relate to the characters or story line of a book. The students are also taught to distinguish the symbolism of characters or objects that have a crucial role or work out the importance of themes in literature English is very important because it stays with you forever Writing is a key component to your future ; it can open or close doors for you Every student takes English for all four years of high school. Typically, students take the basic English courses provided at Golden High School through their junior year, but some students choose to take c lasses like Creative Writing, British Literature, Philosophy and Literature, Graphic Novels, and Bible as Myth as seniors All of these classes help shape students into brilliant-minded thinkers and also helps them to develop skills that will be needed for their futures

Our gifted thespians rock the stage and show the audience what they work so hard for! These actors and actresses take on complicated characters, showing off their talent to the world They make it look easy; however, it takes hours of rehearsal to practice and learn each line. One can easily see the dedication they put into every show

Stage fright? Please, that's nothing for these spotlightsavvy teenagers! Memorizing dozens of lines for each play is a lot to handle! As if that isn't hard enough, these talented teens' character portrayals leave the audience filled with emotion

When working long hours , the bond one makes with their acting peers 1s essential to a play's success. Theater is a prime example of the care each cast and crew member has for one another, and even with their ups and downs, they stick together lo ng after the curta i n falls

Night of January 16th was written and staged in the 1930s by the talented writer, Ayn Rand. It is a courtroom drama about a woman who is accused of murdering her lover This was the second play of the year, and it proved to be truly realistic! Action packed , suspenseful and intriguing, this riveting reenactment grabbed the audience right away! The audience even had the opportunity to be a part of the play and get in on the acting as a member of the courtroom jury They were selected by submitting their names to a fishbowl. Once the jury names were drawn , they moved on stage, giving them an up-close-and-personal theater experience The play was an easy performance choice for Mr Hasbrouck ; it was the first play he performed in as a thespian himself In a week of performances , the actors proved that any play they take on will be a success

The fate of the defendant was left in the hands of the audience members selected t, become the jury Towards the end of the play, the jury congregated and decided whether the defendant was guilty or innocent of the crimes committed . In all six showings, the jury found the defendent "Not guilty ."

"Aud1t1oning, I was very nervous Because I really wanted the part I got through ,t by practicing, the support of my friends, and determination " -Evan Mues (12)

"Staring down from the Judge's podium I could see not only the evolution of the thrilling court case but also the unraveling o f t he characters' lives " -Nataleah Small (12)

The defendant (left) , played by Charlotte Clanton (11) , gets into character as she listens to Defense Attorney Steven's closing argument Afterwards, the middle school jury was brought backstage to give their input on the evidence and verdi ct Overall , the drama proved to be an engaging and worthwhile experience for both the actors as well as the audien ce

"It was fun to do a courtroom drama I got to play Defense Attorney Stevens It was up in the top three of my favorite shows Looking forward to the next onel" -Jas mine Haver (10)

Students come alive during acting c las s and rehearsals Many long hours are put into memorizing ea ch line , understanding stage directions and focusing on being the best actor or actress for the part When audition s are held for ea c h play , students work extra hard to land a role, often running through lines before , during and after school.

"Sometimes t here 1s a lot of pressure being in the theat er class because there are deadlines • and you have to make sure everyone 1s in costume and ready "-Dana Speiser (1 O)

This is where it all begins! Before they enter the stage , each theater member has to learn all about performing In Acting Class, students learn how to present themselves on stage, where to stand and even what to do if thing s go wrong They participate in a variety of activities to make them better actors According to Mr. Hasbrouck, " In the acting class, students develop skills which they can use in any career field and in everyday living Knowing one's self is essential to portraying someone else convincingly "

"In theater class we have learned that act ors have three tools, which are voice , body, and mind " Lexi Cook (1 O)

"I enJoy working on the behind-the-scenes production work, especially with t he technology You get to learn a lot of new things and the people are great t o work with They're so accepting and nice "-Ant Tyrell-Ead (11)

Lights , camera, ACTION! Without our behind-the-scenes students, theater productions wouldn't become a reality . They set up the lighting, speakers, sound, stage, and even conjure up the elaborate and beautiful cos tumes the actors wear on stage. N ear ly every Saturday , theater students, their parents, Mr H asbrouck and his wife, Kelly , spend hours building sets and getting each play ready for the st age These dedicated volunteers truly play a maJor part in the theater industry and help to make the breathtaking theater productions that we see at Golden High School.

Every good stage production needs advertisi ng ! For each theater production, student artwork is captured in the playbills and the programs Work from GHS students Shannon Wheeler, Jack Jacobson, Dana Speiser , Katie Czarnecki and Bailey O'Hara demonstrate that details and talent extend beyond the stage to the artists that help bring the shows to life.

Student Council is a great class for all those leaders out there! It provides more than just school education, it is a special group of dedicated leaders and enthusiastic students who work countless hours to make the events at GHS extra special. Each year a large number of people apply to be a part of student council but only the best of the best are selected In addition, each student class elects their student council officers to serve as representatives for their class. With their leadership , as well as those who make up the Senate body, their collaborative ideas and teamwork are put into action through dances, spirit weeks and so much more! They are led and supported by an amazing teacher , Ms Eckenwiler, whose energy makes each event and student-led idea a reality She is the wizard behind the curtain of student council's Land of Oz Without all of the hard work that Student Council does , Golden High School would not be the same

Maxwell Becker (11) keeps it classy during orientation

With the doomsday prediction made on the Mayan calendar, Golden High School made sure that they would not waste their last day on Earth StudCo put on "one last dance" as if the world was ending on the brisk night in December, 2012 Although we didn't experience a grand apocalypse after all , rt was a good excuse to spend time with good friends, black lights and plenty of neon. Thanks StudCo!

Neon-glow isn't Just a long-gone 80s fad Students had a blast with spray paint and glow sticks to show off In the black light , a creative way to stand out for these neon• crazy Demons Despite the doomsday pred1ct1on, this dance will live on for all the students who attended

An age old tradition, spiced up with a fun new tw ist. Ladies tap into their creative side to ask a special boy to the Sadie Hawkins dance To get everyone pumped for the amazing night, student council set up the annual spirit week . This year everyone dug into their closet for their best 11 thrift shop 11 wear, and the most spirited "country" outfits The theme applied to this year's dance was inspired from the movie, "Footloose " Student council transformed an ordinary gym ,nto a place to show that dancing will always be allowed in the gyms at GHS. With amazing decorations and fun activities to participate in, Golden High School students danced the night away with a smile on their face Everybody cut footloose!

Abov e: Br ad Holub (12) tests his skills on the bull nde, a perfect compliment to the Footloose theme and for many real bull nders at GHS A photo booth was also a fun feature at the dance and students posed for pictures in front of an elaborate backdrop At the end of the night , they not only took home
