Greeley West High School is a public high school located in Greeley, Colorado, at the intersection of 35th Avenue and West 24th Street. The school was established in 1966 and had an enrollment of 1,450 students in the 2003-04 school year. Its mascot is the Spartans.[1]
History and academics
Opened on January 25, 1965 Greeley West High School and featured a distinctive hexagonal shape shared by John Evans Middle School, which opened the same day. The cost to build the 113,470-square-foot high school was $2 million and the school opened with an enrollment of 785.[2]
In 1996, it became the only school in Greeley to offer the International Baccalaureate Program. In 1998, Greeley West offered a program called Extended Learning Opportunity, which pushed back the school's regular starting time 90 minutes to allow students who wished to come in earlier to participate in small study classes.
In 2000, principal Erik Fredell was named a principal of the year by the National Association of Secondary School Principals and MetLife.[3]
In 2016, two administrators were implicated in a scandal involving parent surveys. Principal Shelli Robins and Assistant Principal John Diebold were accused by a whistle-blower of creating fraudulent parent survey responses and submitting them to school district officials for over two years.[4] The school district's internal investigation concluded that the accusations were true and that the pair additionally had ordered school staff to participate in the fraud. The district administrators accepted the resignations of Robins and Diebold and reformed the administration process of parent surveys.[5]
On November 5, 2019, voters in Greeley and Evans approved a $395 million bond issue to improve school facilities throughout the District, including a replacement school for Greeley West.[6] Ground breaking for the $120 million site began in August 2020. The building opened to students in the fall of 2022.[7]
