Standley Lake High School is a public secondary school operated by Jefferson County School District R-1 in Westminster, Colorado, United States. The school is located near 104th Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard and is named for nearby Standley Lake. The high school opened in 1988 and a new addition to the southeast corner was opened in 2002. Area rivalries include Pomona High School and Ralston Valley High School in Arvada, Colorado and Broomfield High School in Broomfield, Colorado. The school's male athletic teams include: Baseball, Basketball, Football, Swimming/Diving, Cross Country, Soccer, Golf, Wrestling, Hockey, Track, and Tennis. Female athletic teams include: Basketball, Cross Country, Golf, Gymnastics, Soccer, Softball, Swimming, Tennis, Track, and Volleyball. In 2007, after the shootings at Virginia Tech, students at Standley Lake founded an event called Day Without Hate.〔daywithouthate.org〕 They asked their classmates to wear white in order to show a commitment and trust in each other to make their school a safer place. The day was an overwhelming success. Since then, over 100,000 students across Colorado and the United States take part in Day Without Hate to say that they will not tolerate violence or hate, and they will reach out to friends and acquaintances and say, "We're all in this together." In 2013, PeaceJam, a non-profit organization that connects students with Nobel Peace Laureates, awarded Standley Lake its annual Global Call to Action Hero Award for the school's efforts around Day Without Hate. Nobel Laureate Betty Williams visited the school to give the prize to the students.〔http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/11/a-day-without-hate-standley-lake-high-school_n_4256617.html〕〔http://www.peacejam.org/news/Standley-Lake-High-Schools-Day-Without-Hate-wins-PeaceJam-prize-935.aspx〕 The school is recognized for its award-winning extra-curricular programs. The FCCLA has earned the school accolades at the state and national level.〔https://www.facebook.com/pages/Standley-Lake-High-School-FCCLA/282631708591496〕 The school's newsmagazine, The Lake, has won numerous state and national awards from the Colorado High School Press Association and the National Scholastic Press Association.〔http://www.studentpress.org/nspa/winners/npm14.html〕〔thelakenewsmag.com〕 The school made national headlines on January 27, 2014, after a 16-year-old student, Vincent Nett, set himself on fire inside of the cafeteria in an apparent suicide attempt, according to police. Nett initially survived the attempt, but suffered burns on 80 percent of his body, 40 percent of which were third degree, and eventually succumbed, dying of his injuries around 5:00 PM on Sunday, February 9, 2014 at an area hospital (many patients with such extensive burns, even in good contemporary care, ultimately do not survive due to shock, electrolyte imbalances and dehydration, and serious infection, or sepsis).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.newsmax.com/US/colorado-teen-fire/2014/01/27/id/549309 )〕〔http://news.msn.com/us/colorado-police-student-who-set-himself-on-fire-dies〕〔http://www.denverpost.com/ci_25102297/colo-police-student-who-set-himself-fire-dies?IADID=Search-www.denverpost.com-www.denverpost.com〕 ==See also== *2014 Jefferson County Public Schools protests *Jefferson County, Colorado *Jefferson County School District R-1 *List of high schools in Colorado *State of Colorado *Westminster, Colorado 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Standley Lake High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
