Dear Atlas families,
On the weekends, Atlas rents our sports fields and facilities to external groups.
Today, during one of those games hosted by an external group, a fight broke out, ending in the loss of a person’s life. While this took place on Atlas’s grounds, neither Atlas nor any of its students were involved or affected. Our condolences go out to the family and friends affected by this tragedy.
The Colorado Springs Police Department is handling this incident. It is an ongoing investigation. We will update here if we have any additional information as it pertains to our Atlas families.
Sincerely,
Brittney Stroh
CEO, Atlas Schools
