Castle View High School is a public high school in Castle Rock, Colorado. It opened to serve students in the Douglas County School District in August 2006. [2]
History
First designated as "High School #8" in the district's long-range plans, the 2003 bond election provided US$29.7 million for the school's construction.[3] Construction began in October 2004 and was completed in August 2006.
The school district made news during hiring in spring 2006 by asking the state board of education to waive let the district offer a "technical professional license" to bring nontraditional teachers into the classroom without necessarily having a college degree. [4] Discussion and repeated tabling for future decision ended in a 7-to-1 vote on November 9, 2006 in favor of granting the necessary waivers for the district for a two-year period. [5]
Campus
Castle View High School occupies a two story building with over 70 classrooms designed by H+L/LKA Architects.[6]
Students
For its first year of operation, Castle View only served ninth and tenth grade students. During the 2007-2008 school year, eleventh grade students joined the student body.
While operating below its grade capacity, a portion of the school building is being used as overflow classroom space for around 300 students from Castle Rock Middle School.
Extracurricular activities
In the 2005-2006 school year, Castle View's football team played in the 3A Central Metro League. Unfortunately, there has been much struggle between DCHS and CVHS. The most tangible evidence for this would be the cut on the stuffed football tackle dummy. CVHS recorded this in their newspaper. [7] All other sports will compete in the 4A Continental League.
Extracurricular activities presently offered at the school include a theatre group, ACT OUT!, and a student newspaper, The View, along with an online version called Cybercat.
Curriculum
Castle View is the third high school in Douglas County to offer Chinese in its foreign language courses.[8] American sign language and Japanese are also being offered there.
