FutureForward at Bollman Home

Introduction to Aviation students recently had the fascinating opportunity to visit the Colorado Air and Space Port (CASP). As one of only 11 spaceports in the country, CASP is home to a current small-plane runway and future plans for a vertical space launch facility.

Bollman students had the unique opportunity to walk on the runway, see a $3 million jetpack aircraft, and learn about the day-to-day operations of an airport. Steve, a witty and experienced instructor, gave students an inside look at the many aspects of airport operations and answered their questions about careers and opportunities in the aviation industry.

It was an eye-opening experience that gave students a firsthand look at the exciting possibilities in aerospace and aviation as they begin planning for their futures!

According to the latest 2024 Monitoring the Future Survey, underage drinking and binge drinking among American youth have dropped to record lows. Nationwide, over 80% of 8th graders and 68% of 10th graders report they have never consumed alcohol, and ease of access continues to decline.

While these long-term statistics are encouraging, our work isn't done—especially during homecoming season, when high-energy festivities, tailgates, and celebrations increase exposure to risky choices.To keep the momentum going, our Behavioral Health students got hands-on experience using impairment goggles to see firsthand how alcohol alters depth perception, coordination, and reaction time. Studies show that increasing the perceived risk of heavy drinking is one of the most effective ways to prevent it.

Interactive tools like these bridge the gap between classroom data and real-world choices. By turning prevention into a memorable, peer-driven experience, we are empowering our students to make smart, safe decisions all weekend long.
