Englewood High School (Colorado)
History
Englewood High's original location was at Broadway and Kenyon Avenues. As enrollment increased, the school grew out of its original building, and in 1953, construction on a new building began. The class of 1954 was the first to move into the new building, which still stands today. In the early 1960s the school renovated its structure, adding a full-size auditorium, library, and more classrooms. The school is currently located in Englewood at the corner of Mansfield Avenue and Logan Street.
Next to the campus is the Hosanna Athletic Complex, which contains the baseball and soccer fields. In 2005, a new artificial turf field was installed at a cost of $600,000.
Until September 17, 2008, the principal of Englewood High had been Linda Torres. She resigned for personal reasons, and was replaced by Vice Principal Davis. The new principal is Ryan West
The new 239,000 square foot campus, dedicated February 7, 2015, located at the corner of Mansfield Avenue and Logan Street, now accommodates roughly 1,250 students from the high school, Englewood Middle School and Englewood Leadership Academy.
Athletics
Englewood competes in 3A, and 4A athletics and is a member of the Colorado High School Activities Association.
