As of Saturday, May 20th, graduation is a past memory at Mapleton Expeditionary School of the Arts (MESA). Graduates have many paths to consider and decisions to make after high school. For some, the path will be college or university, some will join the military, others will select a trade or directly begin working. Whatever the choice, all begin a new life’s journey.
Yvette Cruz, LaVozColorado Student of the Week from MESA featured April 12th, is now enrolled at Colorado State University. Cruz hopes to become a medical researcher.
