Dear Boulder High School Families and Students,
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2022–2023 school year as your new principal. I look forward to continuing the tradition of excellence at Boulder High School.
As many of you are aware, my tenure at Boulder High has begun with several tragedies that have deeply and profoundly impacted our school community. One lesson to be learned from our collective pain is the importance of strong relationships, which we will continue to foster within our Boulder High community. Our faculty and staff are once again ready to welcome students back into an environment where everyone feels respected, safe, and valued. We will continue to work on restorative justice practices, when applicable, and will emphasize a balance between the academic and social emotional needs of students.
There are several post-pandemic policies that have been updated, including absences and cell phone policies. Please visit our website for the most current version. Students will be receiving a hard copy of updated policies at the beginning of the year.
We will hold our Back to School Night on Wednesday, August 31. Please join us in the auditorium at the beginning of the evening for a brief meet and greet with myself, then enjoy time to meet your student’s teachers and discover more of what Boulder High has to offer.
As I have worked to integrate myself into the Boulder community, one fact stands out. The power of this community truly lies in the power of our relationships and our commitment to the collective good. The strength of our teachers, the collaboration and support from our families, and the desire to do what is best for our students drives our success. I am excited to be a part of this community.
My door is always open, and I welcome your input. I look forward to supporting your students in reaching their educational goals.
Go Panthers!
Sincerely,
Dr. Alana Morales
Principal

I hope everyone had a nice, relaxing spring break and took an opportunity to do the things that make you happy. The month of April is always a busy time of year with CMAS, PSAT, and SAT testing on the horizon, as well as the start of the final term. Therefore, maintaining balance in our lives plays a significant role in ensuring a successful last two months of the school year. As always, this starts with your mental health. ...
