Loveland High School
Principal: Todd Ball

Name/History: The school opened in 1964 but the original Loveland High School class graduated in 1894. Loveland High School was located in several buildings prior to that.

Mission Statement: We at Loveland High School are committed to creating and fostering an environment where all can learn, all belong, and all are successful.

Culture - Loveland High School has a century of success in making sure that the community's children have had an excellent education. Loveland High School ranks high among Colorado high schools in academics and percent of students that graduate and successfully attend and complete a four-year college course of study. It is a safe school that fosters a sense of well-being among its students and staff.

Contextualized courses - In addition to our International Baccalaureate and Advanced Placement programs, Loveland High School is one of very few high schools in the nation that has developed successful contextualized courses. For example, we offer Geometry in Construction and Algebra II in Transportation. Each of these contextualized courses adds a significant element of relevance to a student's understanding of math concepts.

Team teaching and integration - Loveland High School also offers examples of integrated and team-taught courses. For example, a section of trigonometry has been integrated with a section of physics to provide students with a clear understanding of math in physics (applied) and physics in math. Pre-Advanced Placement Civics and 9th grade English as well as Pre-Advanced Placement World History and 10th grade English are being team taught through social studies and language arts. Loveland High School continues to explore ways to increase the level of relevance in all our courses.

Activities - Loveland High School offers a wealth of cocurricular and extracurricular experiences. We encourage all of our students to become involved in extra activities knowing well that a student's connection beyond regular courses pays huge dividends in their academic and social success in high school.

Real-world experiences - The Calico Cat Café, run by special education students and teachers, is a classic example of how to make school a place where students can learn about the real world before they venture into it. Each Thursday the Calico Cat Café prepares a meal at lunchtime for staff and community members. It is wellplanned with excellent food and continues to be an amazing success.
