Hello,
I would like to thank you for your interest in the EPIC Campus. At the EPIC Campus we commit to curiosity, teamwork, kindness, perseverance, and creativity. Explorative Pathways for Innovative Careers (EPIC) is designed to get students excited about learning! Students have choice in their learning as they select classes from career-focused pathways that are of particular interest to them. This is an incredible opportunity for students to take ownership in their educational journey!
The EPIC Campus was designed with all types of learners in mind. Learning experiences, designed in collaboration with industry partners, are hands-on, relevant, and provide opportunities to impact the greater community. The facility, which once was an automotive repair shop, has been transformed into an incredible learning environment that is absolutely stunning. Learning labs equipped with state of the art, industry grade equipment allow students to train in a setting that is similar to the real world. I am certain that learning experiences at the EPIC Campus prepare students for the real world because these learning experiences were developed by industry professionals who are experts in their field. Students will graduate Littleton Public Schools with a better understanding of post-secondary opportunities whether it is a university, college, military or straight into the workforce. Experience at the EPIC Campus will get students ready!
A facility like this would not be possible without the support of the community. I would like to thank the Littleton voters for supporting the 2018 LPS Bond which made this project possible. I would also like to thank our incredible industry partners for providing ideas, curriculum, equipment, direct instruction, facility tours, internships, apprenticeships, and full-time job opportunities. The incredible support of our local and national industry partners is the main reason this facility will stand out in Colorado.
I am extremely proud of the work that has been completed behind the scenes to make this endeavor a success for the LPS community. I encourage you to come and see this facility in action by signing up for a tour. Again, thank you for your interest in the EPIC Campus.
Sincerely,
Travis Amonson

On February 10, 2022, the Naming Committee proposed two names to the LPS Board of Education. The two proposals were Career Exploration Campus "CEC" and Explorative Pathways for Innovative Careers "EPIC Campus".
On February 24, 2022, the LPS Board of Education had a great discussion about the two proposed names. All board members stated that they liked both options and would support either one. Ultimately, a motion was made and approved to name the facility Explorative Pathways for Innovative Careers -EPIC Campus.
We are grateful for the Board's decision and look forward to creating EPIC experiences for students, staff, and community members!
