Congratulations to the forensics team for their work at the Discovery Canyon Campus Tournament last weekend!

Good luck to the team at the National Qualifying Congress this weekend! #SMHSSpeechDebate #SMHSPiratePride

Monday night, Erik Melgoza, Alamosa athletic director, presented Mike Burkett with the Colorado High School Coaches Association Ceal Barry Award in recognition of Burkett's contributions to the high school girls basketball coaches and athletes in Colorado.
Burkett retired last year after 21 years as the St. Mary's girls coach. His teams won back-to-back state championships in 2018 and 2019, and were on the verge of winning their third in 2020 when the state tournament was canceled due to the pandemic.
Congratulations, Mike! Our Pirate community is thankful for your 21 years of service.

Congratulations to Daniel Zill (pictured) who won superior speaker award at Manitou/St. Mary's Congressional Debate Tournament earlier this month. Owen Barton also set a personal best at the tournament, narrowly missing a nomination. The virtual meet attracted schools from as far away as Idaho.
Congratulations also go out to Jonathon Lee who won all of his debates at the NSDA World Schools Debate Tournament this week.
Great job, forensics! #SMHSPiratePride #SMHSSpeechDebate #PiratesAchieve
