GHS Yearbook 2018

LDEN I ALL AB

Throughout the year at GHS, each and every student was encouraged to find their purpose, their reason for doing what they do, their "why 11 This year, Golden faculty and students dedicated themselves to ma1ng the school a un1f1ed, cohesive environment, so that our Demons could stand together and help one another find their 11 why II Your "why" as a Golden student 1s your purpose, cause or belief that 1nsp1res you. Our "why" 1n creating this yearbook 1s to celebrate our differences while f1nd1ng common ground across the school. This yearbook 1s meant to be a sort of timepiece for you to look back on and remember what your 11 why 11 was at this point 1n your life. No maner whether you are a freshman or a senior, each of us had experiences this year that will shape our reasons "why" for years to come As a un1f1ed student body, we will always have GHS to thank for the fond memories and future moments that shape our high school and future careers, and give us our "why. 11

Its been a long time coming, twelve years of school and we have finally made nto the end. The Dream Team of 2018 1s a class like no other. They are supportive, caring, and daring. This class has stuck together throughout their four years of high school. They always have school spirit and show up loud and proud at every game. With college ahead, this class 1s truly ready for anything. After four years of self-discovery, confidence building, and independence ga1n1ng at GHS, the seniors are finally ready to take on the world. The hardships of high school have nothing on the class of 2018. We wish the class of 2018 the best of luck 1n their future endeavors as they branch out into a world of endless poss1b1l1ties.

TOUGH, STRONG, l(EEN ...

Junior year was considered to be one of the toughest for any high schooler. It was not only time for students to prove their academic skills by taking the SAT and ACT, but it was also the point 1n life where individuals began seriously thinking about their future goals after graduation. A lot was learned about one's self during junior year. Students begin asking the tough questions: Do I want to dedicate my college career to sports? Do I want to go to community college? Is trade school the right move ?Great dreams were 1n the making, but hard work, lots of support and alinle luck would be necessary in everyone's life . Way to keep pushing towards graduation, Class of 2019!

Golden's acuon maker, brought together a team of fell ow students who also wanted and demanded change. March 14th was nauonal walk out day and for the safety and education of the GHS community there was a walkout planned during ACE. We dedicated seventeen minutes to honor the seventeen students and staff who are no longer wnh us.

Wanting change, Golden students banded together to plan a walkout on nauonal walkout day, March 14th. As aschool. everyone listened to the individual stories of the victims, and held hands 10 memorialize the lives 1he world has lost. To lurther the push for change a large group of Jeffco students planned, funded and put on a rally for the Students Un11ed for Change. The rally , took place on the evening of the 14th at NAAC stadium. It brought together poh11c1ans. student speakers and even Miguel Dakota, a fmalist singer from America's Got Talent season 9. to speak to the school communiues. "It is so rnspinng to be a pan of the genera1ion that WILL make a change now, and not wan until Colorado Joins the list AGAIN of schools to have blood become a school color."

Guys and Dolls 1s a classic tale of deception, love, and redemption Once again, Stage Right Productions provided an exemplary performance that both adults and children could enjoy. For every production. Stage Right comes up with a show word to summarize the rehearsal process and help each student. whether cast, crew. or orchestra. perform their very best. The show word for Guys and Dolls was 'redemption'. which was an imponant theme in the show. The students redeemed themselves from the first day of rehearsals to the closing night performance, and the proof was showcased through each student's individual talent.

SPRING MUSICAL

This 1s Oz Hickman's (12) first time as the assistant stage manager for a production at Golden. "Guys and Dolls was an exciting experience, to say the least. It brought old and new faces together to put on a work of art that was more than Just a musical; It made new friends out of unfamiliar people and memories that would brighten anyone's high school experience. I am so glad I got the opportunity to assistant stage manage this wonderful production."

Arts education rs very important for kids to have Students that pan1c1pate in the musical every year develop new vocal, acting. music. and technical theatre skills that are not only applicable to the arts, but to everyday life as well Students pack all of this newfound knowledge into Just a span of ten weeks, all while having a blast making new friends and new memories

The theme of this school year was "My Why" . Every student at Golden has a why . A purpose, a cause, or a reason for the things that they do . Many students have wondered why they needed to pose with their hands in the shape of a Y Our why as a yearbook staff was to visually showcase individuals while simultaneously displaying that "Demons Stand Together" . Looking back on this yearbook will remind you of your why, and could potentially inspire you to find even another purpose in your life . You will be reminded that while sometimes the going was rough , the GHS community had your back Thank you , Golden for your cooperation and patience with us in the photo taking process. And with that, we encourage you to find your own why, if you have not already C. Hoppe, Editor in Chief
