9News, Denver's leading local TV news station, covered the milestone moment when the class of 2025 became among the first Colorado high school graduates to earn the Seal of Climate Literacy — marking the transition of what began as a student-led advocacy campaign into a real, recognized credential on real diplomas.

CPR reporter Jenny Brundin follows student activists — including Seal of Climate Literacy recipients from Alameda International Junior/Senior High School — as they push Colorado's State Board of Education to strengthen climate change references in science standards. The piece captures Lyra VP Elizabeth Harbaugh's perspective alongside student voices, weaving together the story of the Seal's first graduates and the larger fight for climate education in Colorado classrooms.

NPR's Marketplace spotlights a first-of-its-kind HVAC training program in Eagle, Colorado — a partnership between R&H Mechanical and Colorado Mountain College — as a model for building the rural climate workforce. Lyra's own Elizabeth Harbaugh is featured in the piece, speaking to why rural communities can't be left behind in the clean energy transition. The article is the first in Marketplace's three-part 'Greener Pastures' series on rural climate workforce development in Colorado.
