American School & University Magazine recently featured New Vista High School, part of Boulder Valley School District, in an article examining how school design can shape culture, identity, and belonging. The article highlights how the school's architecture, material palette, natural light, and integration of student and local artwork help create an environment that reflects New Vista's values and supports meaningful learning experiences.

The piece explores how thoughtful educational design can strengthen community, celebrate identity, and foster a sense of belonging for students and staff alike.
