I was able to take a couple of summer courses and finish two degrees in three years." - Sarah Johnson, Univ. of Denver graduate, 2009, DCHS IB grad 2006  ******   "I encounter other students, on a daily basis, who have never been pushed to think as deeply/intensely as IB pushed me to think." - Maggie Kakenmaster, Senior at Univ. of Notre Dame, DCHS IB grad 2009  ******  "The credit is nice to have but the value of IB is not in the future credit, but the quality and abundance of information learned." - Grant DeShazer, Sophomore, Colorado School of Mines, DCHS IB grad 2012  ******   "Mom, you just don't know how great it is to walk into a class and have EVERYONE prepared for the day!" - Chapman Family DCHS IB grad 2013  ******   "If you had told me two years ago that I would come to consider my IB experience and diploma to be one of the things which defines me, I’d have told you that you’re crazy. But it’s true. " - Dani Chelin, Senior, CU - Denver, DCHS IB grad 2009  ******   "Although being one of the most dreaded elements of IB, CAS gives IB students the great opportunity to aid their community and do their part in helping the world." - Mitch Whitus, DCHS IB grad 2010  ******
