Westminster High School is a public secondary school (grades 9-12) operated by Westminster Public Schools in Westminster, Adams County, Colorado, United States.[1]
The campus is on almost the same lot as the original building. Features include three multi-purpose basketball courts, an indoor track, a lecture hall, and a 725-seat theater, all within a 375,000-square-foot (34,800 m2) building. The school also features the Future Center, a portion of its library dedicated to teaching students about various career opportunities, post-secondary education, and concurrent enrollment in college level programs.[2]
History
[edit]At the end of 1996, it was announced that all incoming freshmen in the '08-'09 school year, as well as all sophomores in the district who currently attended either Ranum or Westminster High School, would be attending the current Westminster High School campus until the new building was finished, for the '10-'11 school year. The district then announced the new school name would also be Westminster High School and the new school colors would be teal, black, and silver, with the wolves as a mascot.
The original Westminster High School was located at 7300 Lowell, which later became the Career Enrichment Park when Westminster High School moved from 73rd and Lowell to its current location in 1976. When originally established in 1949, the school colors were blue and white, and the mascot was a Warrior.
