At Colorado Early Colleges Douglas County North (CECDCN), we believe in empowering students to achieve more than just a high school diploma, and the Class of 2025 has genuinely exemplified that mission.
This year, we are proud to celebrate 209 graduates, each of whom has taken full advantage of the opportunities available through our unique college-prep model. Their accomplishments extend far beyond the standard high school experience, setting a powerful example of what is possible when students are supported in pursuing both academic and career excellence.
A Credential for Every Student
One of the most remarkable achievements of this graduating class is that 100% of students are leaving with at least one credential—whether it’s a college degree, an industry certificate, or a combination of both. These credentials serve as critical stepping stones toward college, career, and lifelong success.

Academic Excellence
In addition to earning degrees and certificates, our graduates have demonstrated outstanding academic performance:
- 142 students (68%) graduated with High Honors, having completed 60 or more college credits—the equivalent of two full years of college coursework.
- 81 students (39%) earned Summa Cum Laude honors for achieving a GPA of 3.8 or higher, showcasing a commitment to excellence at the highest level.
- 24 students (11%) earned Magna Cum Laude honors (GPA 3.65+), and 14 students (7%) earned Cum Laude honors (GPA 3.5+).
