Podcasts about Arapahoe High School

Growing up in Washington, Tyler Brayton played a lot of sports. His grandfather was a baseball coach and he thought he was destined for the diamond. That was until his lanky body got coordinated and he started to excel at football in high school.   He was recruited by a number of schools and felt drawn to Boulder where Rick Neuheisel was the head coach. After his first season, Coach Neuheisel left and Gary Barnett was hired. Normally a new coach would make a first-year player nervous, however Tyler had been recruited by Coach Barnett's previous school, Northwestern, so the familiarity was already there.   Tyler racked up some nice numbers for the Buffs as a Defensive End: in 74 games, he had 47 starts, 152 tackles, 12 ½ sacks, 3 forced fumbles, 3 fumble recoveries and 6 passes defensed. Heading into the NFL was an obvious next step and Tyler thought he'd be a 2nd or 3rd round pick.  Instead, he was picked in the 1st round by the then-Oakland Raiders.   In 5 seasons with the Raiders, Tyler had 4 different head coaches. His first-year stats were impressive as he started all 16 games under Bill Callahan. After that, however, his numbers started to decline and with one year left on his six-year contract, Tyler nullified his deal and became a free agent.   He resurrected his career under John Fox and the Carolina Panthers where he spent 3 seasons and then finished his NFL career with the Colts. He wasn't ready to be done, however when no one called, he knew it was time.   Today, Tyler is the head football coach of Arapahoe High School and enjoys spending time with his wife and their 3 children.

Riding Shotgun With Charlie #192 Quinn Cunningham FASTER Colorado   I've mentioned the “Olympic rings” idea before. It's where I know person A and they know person B, but I don't know person B. Ok, it's a classier version of the Six Degrees of Separation. In this case, I know Laura Carno (RSWC #188), and Laura knows Quinn Cunningham. If you missed The Gun Experiment Ep 83, Laura said Quinn is who she wants on her side in a gunfight. He is someone you'd want too and you could also train with him.    Laura was selling me on having Quinn in the stagecoach. Not a hard sell. She gave me some of his back story. Again, it's a story that I've heard and read about. You may have heard it, too.  And you'll hear it right from him at the end of the show.    Quinn is a SWAT officer, a FASTER Colorado instructor, and a competitive shooter, sponsored by Shadow Systems. An influence on what being a man is came from his brother in law. He showed Quinn about virtue, leadership, and shooting and marksmanship. He grew up in Nebraska and would take the .22 rifle out shooting and tell his folks he didn't know why the ammo supply was depleting. His decision to get into law enforcement was due to watching Lethal Weapon back in the 1980's. They drove fast and shot guns and he knew he wanted to do that.    After 22 years of being a police officer, he worked in the jail, got to work the streets, and finally got on the SWAT team. To get on SWAT, there's more training, you need to be an LEO for a number of years, have good performance evaluations, mental and physical challenges, and performance under stress. Now, he instructs at the local police academy.   Getting into competition shooting was a way for Quinn to check some of the things he was teaching at the academy. Going to a GLOCK competition, he thought shooting at stable targets from a standing position would be easy. When the buzzer went off, he started shaking and missing shots. There was going to be a lot to learn from this kind of shooting. He had to focus on mindset, marksmanship, and fundamentals under stress. This opened up the world of high performance shooting to him. He found himself completely addicted to it. He worked his way through the rankings and in 2017, found himself at number 2 in the World Police & Fire Games. That year the French team took 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th, and 7th. But Quinn was at 2nd. Talking with the competitors from around the world and hearing how they trained was also beneficial to him.    Quinn is one of the lead instructors with FASTER Colorado. His years as a police officer, SWAT, competitive shooter, and trainer has been instrumental with this position. FASTER Colorado has four levels of courses, each building off the other. FASTER gives school staff the skills and information needed to respond to active shooter incidents. I've done a number of shows with people from FASTER Saves Lives, and I have a few more coming soon.    He skimmed over the incident during the conversation.I wasn't sure about asking about the story, the reason Quinn does FASTER, but he offered it up and I wanted to hear it. You will too. The shooting at Arapahoe High School happened in 2013 and it lasted 80 seconds long. Quinn was one of the responding SWAT members. He was injured at the time and responded regardless. He took someone else's rifle and a traffic jacket to identify himself as a good guy.  What he saw changed his life and his direction. He works with FASTER trying to make sure incidents like this don't happen again.  Favorite quotes:  “I was a SWAT guy. I walked up there thinking I was this big, bad dude. And I just got my ass kicked.” “Dry fire will get you so much better.” “Every school, there is someone in every school planning to shoot that school, right now.” “You act totally different than you think you act.” “We need to get this message out. If I have to go through a little bit of pain so kids live, then… so be it.” FASTER Colorado Website https://fastercolorado.org/   FASTER Colorado Facebook https://www.facebook.com/FasterColorado/   FASTER Colorado Twitter https://twitter.com/FASTERColorado   FASTER Saves Lives Website https://fastersaveslives.org/   Shadow Systems https://shadowsystemscorp.com/   Quinn Cunningham Instagram https://www.instagram.com/qcunningham9859/ Second Amendment Foundation https://secure.anedot.com/saf/donate?sc=RidingShotgun    Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms https://www.ccrkba.org/     Please support the Riding Shotgun With Charlie sponsors and supporters.    Buy RSWC & GunGram shirts & hoodies, stickers & patches, and mugs at the store! http://ridingshotgunwithcharlie.com/rswc-shop/   Dennis McCurdy Author, Speaker, Firewalker http://www.find-away.com/   Self Defense Radio Network http://sdrn.us/   Buy a Powertac Flashlight, use RSWC as the discount code and save 15% www.powertac.com/RSWC   SABRE Red Pepper Spray  https://lddy.no/1iq1n   Or listen on: iTunes/Apple podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/riding-shotgun-with-charlie/id1275691565

Tim Cates catches up with Rod Sherman at the 2023 MCAA Coaches Conference at Concordia University Irvine. Rod is the head football coach at Orange Lutheran HS in Southern California. Rod is entering his 3rd season at the helm, returning to coach the Lancers after his first stint as coach and athletic director from 1997-2007.

How might we support vibrant, diverse, passionate individuals to become teachers? Listen in as John Kearney, Director of Recruitment and Alumni Engagement for the PEBC Teacher Residency Program, shares the ways in which a career teaching is more accessible than ever before, and recent graduates, Nicole Herrera & Char Brock share their stories of their experiences of becoming educators. John Kearney illustrates how the PEBC Teacher Residency is structured to meet a variety of incoming teachers' needs, learning styles, and hopes. In addition, he shares ways in which the program supports all residents via coaching, mentoring, cohort collegiality, lab classroom visits, and authentic coursework. Finally, John highlights the ways in which the state of Colorado is elevating the importance of high quality teacher preparation by providing stipends that make teaching a reality for more people than ever before. Nicole Herrera had never considered a career in education. She did not have teachers who looked like her nor had anyone ever suggested she enter the field of education. Her love for learning, advocacy, and community piqued her interest and the PEBC Teacher Residency program supported her desire to learn alongside other teachers from day one. As a resident Nicole was able to learn the craft of teaching, deepen her content knowledge, coach wrestling, serve on school based committees, and form the Journey of Our Heritage Club while earning her teacher license. This year Nicole will be teaching Social Studies. Char Brock has worked in the field of education for nine years and served students through the Study Center at Arapahoe High School and Next Littleton GED Plus Program, yet she did not hold a teaching license. PEBC's Teacher of Record pathway allowed Char to earn her license while concurrently teaching Intervention and Math at Englewood High School (with full pay and benefits). She was able to tap into her Masters of Educational Psychology degree and, with support from her cohort, co-teacher, clinical coach, and school mentor, she shifted from supporting students one-on-one to planning and teaching units and daily lessons. Char strives to elevate students' assets so that they can see themselves as agents of their own learning. If you or someone you know would make a Phenomenal Teacher, contact John Kearney at jkearney@pebc.org The “Phenomenal Teaching Podcast” is brought to you by Public Education & Business Coalition (PEBC) and is intended to elevate the strands of the PEBC Teaching Framework illustrated in Wendy Ward Hoffer's book, Phenomenal Teaching. Those strands include community, planning, workshop, thinking strategies, discourse, and assessment. Thank you for joining us this season as we strive to share the stories of educators who are creating scaffolds for each and every student to ensure that classrooms and schools are places where agency, equity, and understanding can flourish.

On this episode of the Do Something Podcast we are joined by Will and Maria Bales, parents of Nick Bales. Nick started Brought to Reality (BTR) in 2016 while he was a sophomore at Arapahoe High School near Denver, Colorado. Nick suffered from anxiety and depression, and focusing on BTR enabled him to be creative, keep busy, and stay grounded in reality. Through his brand, Nick sought to bring awareness to teen mental health and to end the stigma surrounding mental illness. Nick strived to encourage compassion among his peers. In his college essay, Nick wrote: “We should all help each other get through the difficult times.” Unfortunately, Nick did not have the opportunity to apply to college because he lost his battle against mental illness on September 29, 2018. Today his legacy continues through his parents who joined us on the podcast to share his story. ❤️ Mental Health Resources National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255 Crisis Text Line: text 'START' to 741741

Welcome to Montrose Fresh, from The Montrose Daily Press. It's FridayJune 18th and we're here with local news, events, announcements, jobs, and more that matter to us here in Western Colorado.    Today - A recently passed bill bans Native American mascots at public schools in Colorado. This means Montrose High School and Centennial Middle School need to select new mascots. Otherwise they may need to pay a $25,000 monthly fine.    Today's episode is brought to you by Elevate Internet.

This means Montrose High School and Centennial Middle School need to select new mascots. Otherwise they may need to pay a $25,000 monthly fine.    Montrose County School District spokesman Matt Jenkins explained that at this point, it's out of their hands because it's required by law.   Montrose High School's current mascot is the Indians. A totem pole is still prominently displayed on the football field. The mascot for Centennial Middle School is the Braves and the official logo is a Native American man wearing a headdress.   Jenkins elaborated that selecting a new mascot will be a “community effort” over the course of the next 12 months.   He also said that the school mascot is rich in culture, and the community holds tightly to the pride they have in their high school mascot.    So what exactly does the Bill state?   Senate Bill 21-116 bans Native American mascots from publicly funded Colorado schools starting. If schools have agreements with a Native American tribe to use the mascot, then they are allowed to keep the mascot. One example of this is Arapahoe High School in Littleton.   Discussions to change Montrose's mascot have been underway since at least 2002, when a Greeley-based group called for change. Then, in 2015, a similar bill failed in the senate.   But now, with Democratic control in both chambers, the newer version of the ban was passed.   One thing to note is that the elected officials representing Montrose at the capitol voted against the bill.   Governor Jared Polis is expected to sign the bill into law soon. Approximately 24 schools across Colorado will be affected.   To learn more visit us at montrosepress.com.   -   Now, some local history. This week's local history is brought to you by England Fence. England Fence is family owned and operated, and they're ready to help you build your dream fence, archway, gate, or deck. Give them a call at 970-249-4430, or head over to their website englandfence.com. Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park contains the deepest and most dramatic section of the canyon. The canyon's name owes itself to the fact that parts of the gorge only receive 33 minutes of sunlight a day.   Native Americans had known the canyon to exist for a long time before the first Europeans saw it.    They are known to have avoided the canyon out of superstition. The first official account of the Black Canyon was provided by Captain John Williams Gunnison in 1853.   -   And finally, before we go we'd like to remember the life of Mardell June Sanburg Sanders. Mardell was born to a pioneer family who arrived in the Montrose area in the 1870s.    Mardell was an adventurous child, who tagged along behind her older siblings. She told stories of how she rode bareback on horses that the family raised for the U.S. Cavalry.    As a child, she attended school in Montrose and graduated from Montrose High School. She then attended Western State College and Mesa College. She married Shirley Sanders in 1953. To this union they had five children.   Her spirit continues in her children, their spouses and her 13 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.   Mardell was a mother, a rancher and a real estate mogul. She had a unique way of letting a sassy child or animal know they were on the wrong path. She loved animals, loved to drive fast, and loved a good cup of coffee.    She had a great sense of humor and would light up her grandchildren even at the end. She was generous to a fault. Her last wish was for everyone to be kind to each other.   Mardell will be greatly missed. Thank you for taking a moment with us to remember and celebrate her life. -   That's all for today, thank you for listening!

Welcome to the 10th episode of The High School Business & Personal Finance Teachers Podcast hosted by Knowledge Matters. This 10th episode of the podcast features an interview with Caroline Swank, Business Department Chair at Arapahoe High School in Centennial, Colorado.

George takes calls on whether teachers should be armed in Colorado schools, and reflects upon his own experiences as a district attorney in the STEM shooting case, the Aurora theater shooting, and the Arapahoe High School shooting he has seen transpire in the legal system. George also caps the program with ‘Tell Me Something Good’ and the amazing grace of Brandt Jean, who forgave and hugged Amber Guyger – the Dallas police officer who mistakenly killed his brother Botham, and was convicted and sentenced to ten years in prison for the young man’s death.

On December 13th, 2013, Arapahoe High School in Centennial, CO experienced a school shooting. Catherine Holmes was sitting in her theatre class completely unaware of what was happening until the SWAT team came in.

The school shooting in Florida last week in which 17 people died broke Avery Griggs’ heart, because she lived through the Arapahoe High School shooting. Then, getting the word out to non-citizens about deportation dangers around working in the weed business. What it takes to resurrect and redevelop relics from Colorado's sugar beet gold rush days. And we get a sneak peak inside Google's new Boulder campus.

The problems that led to the school shooting at Arapahoe High School two years ago aren't unique. That's according to several new independent investigations. We explore the steps some say Colorado schools need to take to make them safer. Then, another challenge schools and students face: bullying on social media. A new play shows the pain it causes a teenage girl and her mother. Also, scientists think they've found a 9th planet in our solar system, but one astronomer says, "show me." And, why researchers are worried about a 1,000-year-old glacier west of Boulder.

On December 13, 2013, a gunman walked into Arapahoe High School and opened fire, killing a student and scarring a community. Suzanne Tyler, a teacher at the school, was closer to the tragedy than most – the shooter had written her classroom number on his arm before entering the building. Shaken, Tyler faced a long road to inner peace in the aftermath. Her new book, “There Is Hope,” is the result of her healing process. The illustrated book, meant for readers of all ages, speaks of dark times in life. Throughout the story, the book’s protagonist learns to confront and eventually control her “monster,” the dark force in her life that follows her after a traumatic event. “The healing began as I started to share my story, and others shared theirs with me,” Tyler said. Tyler recognizes that tragedy and trauma take form in all shapes and sizes, but that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. “I want to be an instrument for helping others to heal,” Tyler said. “I want people to know that someone understands and that we all have hope.” For more information, visit http://www.suzannektyler.com. There Is Hope By Suzanne Tyler  Suzanne Tyler is an educator who, for many years, watched students deal with significant trauma and circumstances in their young lives, which they did not choose. On December 13, 2013, Suzanne also experienced trauma that was not a choice. She was a teacher at Arapahoe High School when a man with a gun came into the school and traumatized the students, staff, families, friends, and community. Everyone’s life changed that day. Suzanne wrote this book as part of her healing process and hopes that through it, she will help you heal, too.

Merry Christmas from Joy and Claire!

We get serious for a little bit, talking about Joy's work with the students at Arapahoe High School following the recent shooting, and why CrossFit is so great for turning off your mind at the end of a hard week. Claire also admits that she has a new girl crush… but don't worry, she'll never replace Christmas Abbott. It is Christmas, after all.
