Congratulations to Littleton High School Principal Dr. Tom Velazquez for being named the Principal of the Year by the Colorado Association of Latino/a Administrators and Superintendents. Dr. Velazquez was honored at a recent awards ceremony held at Red Rocks Community College. 

He was described by his peers as a champion for equity, achievement, and college readiness. Under Dr. Velazquez’s leadership, Littleton High School has experienced the highest four-year graduation rate in the past seven years. LHS students achieved the highest percentage of growth in English language arts in LPS as measured by the Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) test, and 98 percent of seniors meet college readiness benchmarks in English language arts and mathematics. The school’s attendance rates have improved, and restorative interventions have increased by 81 percent, which leads to fewer suspensions. Congratulations to Dr. Velazquez and the staff and students of Littleton High School!
