Astronaut and Woodland Park High School alumna Nichole Ayers will be visiting Woodland Park next week on February 19!
While in the area on military orders, Nichole has graciously carved out time in her schedule to return home and spend the morning at Woodland Park Jr./Sr. High School with our 7th–12th grade students and staff. What an incredible full-circle moment for our Panther community!
This special visit will give our students the opportunity to hear firsthand about her journey from WPHS graduate to astronaut, the dedication it takes to pursue big dreams, and the limitless possibilities that await them. Having one of our own achieve such extraordinary accomplishments is a powerful reminder to our students that their goals — no matter how ambitious — are within reach!
We cannot wait to welcome Nichole home and celebrate this remarkable moment with our Panthers! 🌟
