Military Families

Doherty High School proudly supports its strong connection to military families in Colorado Springs through dedicated efforts like our military liaisons, Elisa Villarruel and Lindsay Zandarski, who provide invaluable resources and support. Throughout the year, we actively recognize and celebrate the contributions of military families. most notably during the Month of the Military Child we honor our military connected students at home games, tied purple ribbons around our trees, and conducted a spirit week. Our annual Veterans Day assembly serves as a powerful tribute to honor the service and sacrifice of veterans within our community. Furthermore, Doherty High School participates in Wreaths Across America, with students and staff joining together to lay wreaths at local cemeteries, ensuring that the memory of our fallen heroes is kept alive.
