We are so proud of Lion Koustas, senior at @cherrycreekhs and @ccichospitality student, and Siona Iwajomo, senior at @smokyhillhighschool and @ccic.infrastructure and @ccic.cna , for representing both @ccic.ccsd and @cherrycreekschools at the XQ Future of High School Roadshow in Denver.
Lion and Siona were selected to be part of an incredible panel alongside students from 14 schools across Colorado. The purpose of the event was powerful and clear: for adults to listen — truly listen — to students as they shared their hopes, needs, and ideas for what the future of high school should look like.
These two spoke with professionalism, insight, and authenticity, helping elevate the student voice in a conversation that matters deeply. We are so proud of the way they represented their schools, their experiences, and the future of education.🎉

🎙️ Season 2 of the @pineapplepodcastccic continues with Episode #5 featuring @gaylordrockies ✨
In this episode, @ccichospitality Hospitality Leadership Experience intern Savannah sits down with Matt Marshall, Hotel Manager at the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center, to explore what it takes to lead one of Colorado’s largest hospitality destinations.
Savannah earned the only paid high school internship position offered to the CCIC Hospitality program each year through our longtime partnership with Gaylord Rockies, and she reflects on how the internship shaped her growth, confidence, and perspective on the hospitality industry.
Mr. Marshall shares insight into leadership in hospitality and what it takes to manage a large resort and convention property. The conversation highlights how hospitality leadership is about much more than operations — it is about people, guest experience, problem solving, humility, and building a strong team culture.
He also shares how hospitality can feel like “fun chaos,” why adaptability matters, and how preparation helped him overcome his fear of public speaking as a hotel manager.
Tune in to hear about:
✨ Leadership in a large scale resort environment
✨ The importance of team culture and guest experience
✨ Overcoming fear through preparation and confidence
✨ Why hospitality is fun, fast paced, & people centered
✨ Career pathways within hotels & events
Episode drops TOMORROW on our YouTube channel (link in bio)! 🎧🏨
