Rankings and Recognitions

We like to recognize all the things that make Greeley a thriving community: student athletic and academic achievements; positive partnerships between businesses and schools; national rankings; and local, state and national awards earned by our non-profit, civic, business and government workers.

These recognitions aren't a pat on the back from locals to locals; rather, they're awards and kudos given from outside the community to those in Greeley who deserve it.

At each City Council Meeting, we recognize the people, organizations, and businesses that make Greeley great. Visit GTV8 to view videos of the presentations.

Congratulations to Greeley Central student Saria Mowrer for being named one of the 2020-2021 Caring for our Watersheds contest winners from Colorado.

She also handed out bracelets with an informational pamphlet. Habitat loss and WNS has led to a 90% decline of the little brown bat population in the past 20 years, risking their extinction by 2030.
