On Wings of Eagles
Honoring those who soar above and beyond for the students of Woodland Park
WHAT IT IS
A Recognition Born from Community
The On Wings of Eagles Community Recognition Program was established by the Woodland Park School District Board of Education to formally honor individuals and organizations whose extraordinary contributions inspire students across our campuses.
Just as the eagle soars above all others — with vision, courage, and strength — our honorees rise above and beyond the ordinary to lift students in their pursuit of excellence, responsibility, and civic duty.
Established in 2026, this program reflects our community's deepest values: that it takes every one of us to nurture the next generation.
Academic Excellence
Inspiring students to reach their full intellectual potential.
Personal Responsibility
Modeling integrity, accountability and character.
Civic Duty
Fostering active, engaged members of our community.
Multi Campus Impact
Touching the lives of students across multiple schools.
Meet Our 2026 Awardees
Kimberly Founds
Director, House of David Music Center
Mrs. Founds and her team at the House of David Music Center trained 47 students from Summit, Columbine and Ute Pass Elementaries, Colorado Springs Christian School and Merit Academy to play instruments for a Showcase Fundraiser recital. Each school's music program received $100, and students are now preparing a second fundraiser to support 61 future scholarship recipients.
Marci Nickelsburg
Director, Jr. Woodland Players and WPJSHS After School Theater Program
We are proud to recognize Marci Nickelsburg — director of the Jr. Panther Players and Woodland Park Jr./Sr. High School's after school theater program — as our newest On Wings of Eagles recipient!
Marci has given students from across the district the stage, the confidence, and the courage to soar. Under her direction, three Woodland Park students have earned the opportunity to compete at the prestigious Bobby G Awards — with one winning the competition.
Thank you, Marci, for helping our students find their voice, own the spotlight, and dream bigger than they ever thought possible.
