History

Northglenn High School opened in 1965 as the first high school in the Adams 12 Five Star Schools.

From 1965-2011 Northglenn High School was the only Adams 12 school to have a swimming pool. With the introduction of STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) into Northglenn, the pool was closed and replaced with science, computer and aerospace engineering labs.[1]
