Porter High School to Host Rachel’s

LITTLETON, CO – An hour out of the regular class schedule could spawn a lifetime’s worth of change for students and educators, as well as the communities they touch over the course of their lives. Such is the potential impact of the Rachel’s Challenge student assemblies that will take place on May 2nd. Rachel Scott was the first person killed at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. Following her death, Rachel’s dedication to kindness and compassion toward others – a legacy that spread rapidly through anecdotes and her own private writings – led her family to found Rachel’s Challenge. “Schools can be incubators for creating and disseminating great ideas, however, we are confident our new partnership with Porter High School will have a positive ripple effect beyond the campus and throughout this community as well.”
