A Chain Reaction of Kindness and Compassion

“I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction of the same. People will never know how far a little kindness can go.” – Rachel Scott
These words were penned shortly before her death by Rachel Scott, the first student killed at the Columbine High School shooting in 1999. Her life and writings, through a program called Rachel’s Challenge, have inspired thousands of students around the world to make a pledge to continue Rachel’s legacy by looking for the best in others, dreaming big, choosing positive influences, speaking with kindness and starting their own chain reaction.

Imagine a parking lot full of pick-up trucks, a building half-full of students and a community bursting at the seams with excitement for what was coming. As a brand new school with Kelly Green and Silver as the school colors and Carrie the Cougar as the mascot, Niwot High School officially opened in 1972 with sophomores and juniors, with the first class graduating in 1974.

With Longmont High School bursting at the seams in the late 1960s as the only public high school serving Longmont and Niwot students, the school district selected Niwot as the site for a new high school. Niwot High School opened in the fall of 1972 with sophomore and junior classes made up of students from the Niwot and south Longmont area.
