Why Animas?
I choose to attend Animas high school because of the diverse opportunities it offers to each student that walks through its doors. As someone who attended a small school from preschool all the way through eighth grade, and then choose to attend a large public high school, I found it very difficult to be just another number. When I chose to transfer to Animas in eleventh grade, I felt like I was seen. The teachers and students at Animas ensure that everyone feels seen. Along with this, I appreciate the ability that students have to personalize their learning path through the various opportunities including projects, Osprey Block, dual enrollment, LINK internships, and Senior Projects. Overall, Animas creates a space where I can thrive socialy and academically.

Durango
My name is Sophie May, born and raised in Durango Colorado. I love to learn and hope to continue learning throughout my life. Outside of school I devote most of my time to music. I am in multiple bands and an A cappella group. I play piano, guitar, write songs and sing. I have loved music my whole life, and find that I am much more inspired when I have music in my life, preferably every day. I also love animals. I have fostered over 15 puppies, and loved the experience. I enjoy travel, design, and baking. I continue to discover more about my identity everyday and hope to learn more about myself for the rest of my life.
