- Englewood High School is a public high school in the Englewood Schools District, located in the city of Englewood, Colorado, a suburb of Denver, in Arapahoe County. It is one of two high schools in the district. Its student population is approximately 850 students in grades 9-12. There are about 65 licensed teachers, 40 of whom hold a master's degree or higher. The school is accredited by the North Central Association of Secondary Schools, the Colorado Department of Education, and holds membership in the College Board, the National Alliance of High Schools, and the National Association of College Admissions Counselors. The school was founded in 1917. Englewood has more Boettcher Scholars than any other metro area high school, with 30. Until September 17, 2008 the principal of Englewood High had been Linda Torres, however she resigned due to personal reasons being replaced by V.P. Ms. Davis.[1]
- 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 Ave. and Logan St. 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.
- Athletics
-
Englewood competes in 3A, 4A and 5A athletics and has a whole complement of extracurricular programs. One is the award-winning Pirateer student newspaper, considered one of the best in the state and part of the High School National Ad Network. The Pirateer's advisor, Sheila Jones, received the Don Ridgway Freedom of Expression Award in 2000 and was named the Colorado Publications Teacher of the Year in 2001. The Pirate band regularly competes in state competitions and has won numerous awards.
- Football
-
In 2006-2007 the Englewood High School football team won the 3A North Metro League with a record of 8-2, and lost in the second round of the playoffs with a final season record of 9-3. In 2008, Englewood's head football coach, Randy Penn retired after winning Coach of the Year in 3A football. The Pirates new head football coach is Matt Bednorz, who was a coach of the defense before taking the role of head Pirate. Matt is joined by returning coach Bobby Thomas. Coach Thomas will be taking the role of assistant head coach.
- Lacrosse
-
In 2007 the Lacrosse team finished with a record of 2-13 picking up their first win in four years. The Lacrosse team that year was lead by seniors Karl Kirsch and Dylan McAninch. Karl with 18 goals 5 assists, and Dylan with 3 goals and 13 assists. Although the Lacrosse team ended the 2008 season with 0 wins and 14 loses, the team looks forward to strong leadership and a helpful freshmen class. Since 2008 Englewood's Head Lacrosse coach has been Brandon Mapes, who took over the job after Taylor Ford steped down in 2007.
- Wrestling
-
In 2008 Justin Williams went 40-6 in his wrestling season, he then went to the state finals and took second. In 2009 Justin Williams went 40-1 and he went on to win the 285 state championship. Justin Williams finshed with a 123-36 career record with 76 pins. Justin Williams holds the single season and career pins record for Englewood high school.
- Boys Soccer
-
The 2008 season has shown the slow downfall of what used to be a great soccer team. With the loss of Head Coach Albert Adetoye the Pirates have seen a lack of hard work and drive that they have had in the past. The lack of leadership and upperclassmen help is another reason for the downfall of the Pirates. They fielded a young team in the 2008 season. Several sophomores started and there are several young players with a lot of potential. The players will need to play with commitment and heart and have someone step up to the leadership role in order to return the Pirates' soccer team to its winning ways.
- Boys Basketball
-
They head coach of the Boy's Basketball team is Stu Howard. The team went 11-12 in the 2007 season and made it to the playoffs where they lost to the Greeley West Spartans by a score of 79-46. The Pirates have two returning varsity starters from last year as well as some young talent that will step up to the varsity level. With a combination of experienced players and skilled underclassmen, they will look to surprise a few teams this year.
- Class of '03 Senior Prank Melee
-
In 2003 the school received temporary fame when a set of senior pranks got out of hand. For the senior farewell assembly on the seniors' last day, some seniors threw water balloons from their own separate set of bleachers at a crowd of students from all other grades and various others in attendance. Chaos ensued, and cries from staff members to relent did not calm the situation. Some of the balloons were filled with old keg beer. Some thought there was urine in some balloons, but this was not proved while the seniors insisted it was the stench of rotten beer. While leaving, the seniors ran around the school and beat on lockers and then drove around the school honking their horns, while all other students were still in class. The school responded by not allowing a number of seniors to walk at the graduation ceremony. The decision to ban the students from graduation was based on witnesses who remembered a few of the students who had thrown balloons. This differed from the Principal's (Mr. Barrows) original proposed punishment. He had told the students their punishment would be the loss of the luau. Once he changed his mind, he would not be deterred, though students made several attempts to make amends. The seniors held an independent luau at a local park, to which students from all grades came. They held their own graduation ceremony at a local park. Witnesses of the assembly did not remember all of the students who had thrown balloons as a number of other people involved in the throwing of balloons apted to graduate at the separate ceremony with their good friends. The students' ceremony consisted of long time head basketball and football coach along with several teachers who did not support the principal's decision. MTV got wind of the stunt and featured a reenactment of Englewood's prank on the TV show High School Stories that aired some months later. Principal Robert Barrows was in the second year of his position as Principal at Englewood High School and remained at the school 3 more years.
