Fairview Principal

 Greetings Fairview Families!

It has been two weeks full of mixed emotions as we have hosted Senior Nights at our school events. Having a senior myself, I realize the mixed emotions of pride and sadness of the “last times.” I hope you enjoy every last minute with your students! 

I continue to be amazed by the students, staff and community of Fairview! Last week, Fairview High School proudly participated in the 4th annual BVSD “Place to Be” Showcase at CU, where nearly 2,000 community members explored schools and programs across the district. A huge thank you to our dedicated staff and students who represented Fairview and shared what makes our school so special. Our student and staff leaders showcased Fairview’s four pillars of excellence: academics, athletics, arts, and activities. They were outstanding ambassadors for our school and truly demonstrated what makes Fairview and BVSD the place to be!

We are busily preparing for our own Showcase Knight on Tuesday, November 17, 2026 where we will host hundreds of families considering their options for high school. It is a true opportunity for celebration as we showcase all of our academics, athletics, arts, and activities. If you know anyone considering Fairview for next school year or if they are shopping for schools, please have them contact our office for more information about the Showcase Knight. 

I want to take a minute to celebrate some of our amazing students and staff:

The Fairview Marching Band received 4th place in the state Colorado Bandmaster Association competition. 

The Fairview  Boys and Girls Cross Country Teams placed 2nd in the Regional XC races and will be competing at the State XC Championships tomorrow in Colorado Springs. 

The Fairview Boys Soccer Team advanced in the first round of the playoffs beating Northfield 5-1. 

The FHS Football Team won a shootout by the score of 84-63 against Legacy HS and has positioned themselves well to advance to the state playoffs. 

The Fairview Mountain Bike Team is competing for a state championship in the State Mountain bike Championships tomorrow in Glenwood Springs. 

Our Student Council and National Honor Society provided an AMAZING and magical Trick or Treat Street experience for hundreds of families in our community. 

I am incredibly proud of all of our Knights! Sko’ Knights! 

Thank you for your partnership!

Families and athletes, your feedback matters! Fairview Athletics values your input as we continue working to improve and grow our athletic programs. Please take a moment to share your thoughts and experiences. Feedback should focus on the overall program, but if you have comments about specific coaches, you may include them in the explanation sections or final questions. Thank you for being part of Fairview Athletics and helping us continue to improve!

Hello Knights! Are you interested in participating in one of our winter athletic programs?

Wrestling (boys and girls) | Girls Swimming | Basketball (girls and boys)

In order to participate in one of our CHSAA sanctioned winter sports, you will need to have a completed registration through Arbiter. This is where you will enter information into your student’s portal such as emergency contacts, as well as your student athlete’s current CHSAA Athletic Physical form. Per CHSAA rules: NO OTHER FORM WILL BE ACCEPTED. Click Here for more details.

Hello, families! If your student is absent, please let us know just once by phone or email. We receive every call and email, so there’s no need to follow up. Repeated messages can back up our phone lines and inboxes.

Please allow 24–48 hours for processing. Calls, emails, and online submissions do not automatically excuse a student; attendance staff review and process each request individually, in the order received. You may still receive automated attendance calls or notifications after submitting a request if it’s waiting in the processing queue. Notifications may continue until staff have reviewed and processed it.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and cooperation as our staff work through requests as quickly as possible.

Please review the finals exam schedule and plan accordingly. All students are expected to attend every scheduled review session and final exam in person and at the designated time.
