Community College and the Olympic Training Center.
Coronado is a comprehensive high school for grades nine through twelve. Coronado is accredited by the Colorado

Student Government, Sports, and Clubs
Coronado supports its students and student organizations in their academic and community endeavors. A dynamic Student Government encourages school spirit through activities and participation, 22 boys’ and girls’ seasonal sport teams,
and 27 student-directed organizations from Cougars Care to Yearbook, provide a wealth of opportunity for our high
school community. Many of Coronado’s clubs encourage competitions both locally and state-wide, and opportunities for
community service are endless.
