Join the Rocky Mountain chapter of A4LE for in-person tours of two schools in Greeley-Evans Weld County District 6. During this event you will tour two schools: Greeley West High School and S. Christa McAuliffe S.T.E.M. Academy (a K8). You’ll be assigned a school to start at prior to the event and then groups will move to the second location. This is an active construction site (so there will be a lot of air circulation) and groups will be spread out to maintain social distancing. Tour groups are limited, so sign up fast! Attendees are required to provide their own PPE: hardhat, mask, vest, close-toed shoes.
S. Christa McAuliffe S.T.E.M. Academy
Originally constructed in 1988 as a K-5, was converted to a K8 in 2016. The 49,905 SF main building has a capacity of 356. Through the use of 16 temporary/portable classrooms, the facility currently supports 849 students and 45 staff. Due to the growth of student population, largely due to the popularity of the STEM curriculum, an addition of approx. 50,000 SF is providing additional classrooms and teacher workspaces, additional gym appropriately sized for MS, and expanded cafeteria to support a student population of 900.
Greeley West High School
Originally constructed in 1965 as an 800-student high school. The main building is 174,614 SF and is also supported by 19 temporary/portable classrooms. Current building capacity is 1,058 and has severely exceeded this capacity (2018 – 1,603 students, 120 staff). The Facility Needs Assessment conducted by District 6 identified GWHS for complete replacement, due to the condition of building and systems, inadequate learning spaces and inability to support current and future student/staff capacity. A new GWHS replacement facility, with capacity for 1,800 students, is under construction on the existing GWHS campus.
