Each week, students explored different themes including the role of nature, play, helping others, trust, sustainability, and different cultural concepts around the world related to happiness — all linked to their guiding question: How do you measure happiness?
Watershed's Independent Study Program
Imagine you had the opportunity to design a course built entirely around your greatest passion, where you could choose everything—resources, books, articles, mentors, fieldwork locations, interviews with experts, a final project – what would that look like for you? At Watershed, this is a reality through our independent study program.
Scholastic Art Awards & Watershed's Artists
The next time you visit the Denver Art Museum or 40 West Gallery, you may recognize the names of more than one artist! Currently displayed amongst each location is a collection of impressive and original works by two of Watershed’s own artists: Zora Eckert ‘24 and Calvin Boal ‘26, both of whose submissions were recently selected among thousands of Colorado teens to receive several Scholastic Art Awards!
Students, Sustainability, and the Senator’s Desk
At Watershed, your work doesn't land in the recycling bin; it lands on the Senator's desk. The students in the 11th and 12th grade Materials Science Expedition course certainly have a grasp on the concept of engaging in work that matters. Students know that by exercising their agency, leadership, and communication skills, they truly can make a difference beyond the walls of the school.
Ceramics Through the Ages & the Southwest Kiln Conference
The essential question in this class, “What can art teach us about the past?” drove students to explore firsthand how pottery was a crucial component of ancient Puebloan life. Students were offered glimpses into the entire pottery-making process, from gathering raw earth material to participating in ancient trench-firing demonstrations.

The Ceramics Through the Ages course traveled to Blanding, Utah to participate in the Southwest Kiln Conference.
