Evergreen High School is apublichigh school in theJEFFCO Public Schools district inEvergreen, Colorado, United States. UntilConifer High School opened in 1996, the school served students in both Evergreen andConifer. Evergreen has won two Blue Ribbon Awards for academic achievement from the United States Department of Education in 2007 and 2015.
The entirety of the Evergreencensus-designated place is assigned to this school.[2][3]
The first school in the Evergreen area was the Buffalo Park School, which now resides on the grounds of Wilmot Elementary School. In the late 19th century, a frame structure was built one-quarter mile south of Main Street and served as a school until 1923. Located at 4841 County Road 73, the building currently houses Evergreen Bible Church.[4]
Elementary and high school students were housed in the third school built in Evergreen, a red brick two-story structure located at the intersection of County Road 73 and Buffalo Park Road. It was built in 1922 when District 30 became C2, the second consolidation in Jefferson County. An adjacent white masonry building was built in 1944 for the high school and the first class graduated from the newly christened high school in 1948.[5]
The school quickly outgrew its building and a new building was erected southwest of the bus barn at the intersection of Olive Road and Buffalo Park Road, opening in 1954.[6] The building grew through additions as needed, creating a somewhat haphazard layout until the structure was unified with a "main street" layout as part of an addition and remodel in the late 1990s, designed by H+L Architecture.[7]
Evergreen High School student demographics in the 2013–2014 school year:[8]
The Cougars are considered to be archrivals of the Conifer High School Lobos, football likely being the most intense sports rivalry between the two schools. The Mountain Bowl is an annual tradition between the two towns. Conifer has won the last two of these games, the most recent with a score of 28-16.[9]
State championships:[10]
Following theColumbine shooting, Jefferson County Schools hired Jackson Katz, co-founder of the Mentors In Violence Prevention program, to adapt the collegiate program for high schools. Evergreen High School was chosen as the pilot school for the project.[12] Its success led the program to other schools in the district, then to schools in other states.[13][14]
