Golden High School
Summary
Golden High School is a secondary school located in Golden, the county seat of Jefferson County, Colorado, United States. It is part of the Jefferson County Public Schools district.
South School was established in 1873 for primary, intermediate, and grammar education. It began offering high school education in 1873, the first school of its kinds in the state, and had a graduating class by 1889. In 1892, the high school was located within the walls of South School. It offered a theater program, a now long-standing tradition, by 1895 when it produced Charley's Aunt. The North School building was constructed in 1880 due to the increased population in the area.
The Golden High School was completed in 1924, consolidating high school education previously provided by the North and South Schools. The school was designed by Eugene G. Groves and built by Buckman and Axtell. Modern for its time, the Beaux-Arts style building had a convenient layout and fireproof construction. The building housed a library, study hall, inset lockers, and a balcony in the gymnasium. It served as a high school until 1956, when a new high school was built. The building then became the Golden Junior High School. An addition was added in 1965 that maintained the historic view of the building along Washington Avenue.
It operated as a junior high school until May 1988, when it was declared a surplus by the Jefferson County Public Schools. It was acquired by the Colorado Mountain Club and American Alpine Club in 1993 to serve as their headquarters. The former school building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 14, 1997.
A high school building was constructed in 1956 at the corner of 24th and Jackson streets. It was a combination of buildings that fell into disrepair. When the new high school building was constructed in 2008, the site was made into a parking lot for the new high school.
A new school building was completed in August 2008. The 188,000-square-foot campus was built for $33 million. There are two separate buildings.
