What Erie High School does

Erie High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Erie, Colorado, operating as part of the St. Vrain Valley Schools district. The school delivers comprehensive secondary education through a platform-plus-programs model centered on a rigorous core curriculum augmented by three signature programs: the AP Capstone program (College Board's AP Seminar and AP Research leading to the AP Capstone Diploma), the Academy of Engineering & Aerospace (a four-year pathway with separate engineering and aeronautics tracks offering SolidWorks and Fundamentals of Engineering certifications endorsed by Northrop Grumman through the REC Foundation), and the Erie Tiger Network (a nationally recognized student broadcasting program producing weekly Tiger Talk episodes). Students can earn up to 65 hours of college credit through 21 AP courses, nine concurrent enrollment courses with Front Range Community College, and the CU Succeed program.

The school's technology stack is built on standard K-12 administrative and learning platforms rather than proprietary systems: Schoology (LMS), Infinite Campus (student information system), Naviance (college and career planning), ClassLink (single sign-on), ParentSquare (district communications), and Edmentum (eCredit Recovery). Additional integrations include Google Workspace, JSTOR and Gale research databases, Jostens for yearbook/photo ordering, ArbiterLive for athletic scheduling, and Safe2Tell for anonymous safety reporting. The school serves four primary customer segments: general high school students, parents/guardians, approximately 181 gifted-and-talented students, and special education students receiving a continuum of services.

Erie High School is funded entirely through public education channels — St. Vrain Valley Schools district budget, Colorado state education funding, and federal grants — with no tuition charged to district residents. Open enrollment is available for students outside the attendance boundary, generating per-pupil funding from their home districts. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The school has received sustained external recognition, including a top 20% national ranking in U.S. News & World Report's 2020 Best Public High Schools profile, College Board AP School Honor Roll inclusion, and six consecutive years on NAMM Foundation's Best Communities for Music Education list. Co-curricular offerings include over 40 clubs, Unified Sports programs, and a broad athletics and performing arts portfolio.
