Dedicated Mission StatementTo awaken a sense of wonder and inspire environmental stewardship and citizenship by educating K-12 students through outdoor experiences and inquiry learning.
Vertically-Aligned Curriculum
Our Curriculum Coordinator works with each class to make the Field Experience unique to them. All activities will be an extension of what the students are learning in the classroom.
Hands-on ExperienceAll activities at the PLC are hands-on and encourage students to participate and ask questions. We believe that experiencing learning instead of just reading about it can inspire a life-long love of learning.

D6 Athlete of the Week - Natalie Chairez Salazar
"Natalie is a force. In the classroom, she is the person other students look to for leadership and understanding. On the mat, on the track, and in the throw ring, it is exactly the same. She leads by working hard and supporting those around her to rise up and expand their own standards. Natalie smiles with every challenge brought into her realm as she views it as a way to get better and empower others see their best selves. Asking for input on how others view Natalie, the one theme that follows her character is selflessness. The Wildcat family is beyond grateful to have one of the best in the Greeley community walk their halls to be a beacon of possibility for our future." - Nathan Harvey, Track & Field Coach
