New Vista High School
New Vista is a small, innovative high school located on the corner of 20th and Baseline in Boulder, Colorado. Founded by Rona Wilensky in the fall of 1993, the school's one intention was to break away from the practice of a conventional secondary school. To do this they set out with three goals: 1.)To educate students in the conventional academic subjects 2.) To help each and every student identify and pursue interests at which he or she is genuinely motivated to achieve in and 3.) To prepare students for the demands of citizenship in a community. New Vista High School has many high expectations, including seeing students live up to their own potential. The Colorado Department of Education's School Accountability report has consistently rated New Vista high school has a "high" performing school.

Famous quotes containing the words vista, high and/or school:
“Softly, in the dusk, a woman is singing to me;
Taking me back down the vista of years, till I see
A child sitting under the piano, in the boom of the tingling strings
And pressing the small, poised feet of a mother who smiles as she
sings.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“It is fatally easy for Western folk, who have discarded chastity as a value for themselves, to suppose that it can have no value for anyone else. At the same time as Californians try to re-invent “celibacy,” by which they seem to mean perverse restraint, the rest of us call societies which place a high value on chastity “backward.””
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“The most powerful lessons about ethics and morality do not come from school discussions or classes in character building. They come from family life where people treat one another with respect, consideration, and love.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
