• History & Memorable Moments

The first high school classes in Arvada commenced in 1900 at Zephyr and Grandview. Known as the Arvada School (it was renamed Lawrence Elementary School in 1955), Arvada high school students attended classes there until a permanent high school was built in 1920. The first Arvada High School was located at 7225 Ralston Road and served high school students until 1955. (The building served as a junior high school until 1984 and was demolished in 1986.) A new building at 5751 Balsam Street served students until 1970, when the school's current building was completed at 7951 W. 65th Avenue and the Balsam Street location became Arvada Junior High School.^[1]

In the early 1920s, the school adopted the team name Redskins. It was challenged in 1993 as derogatory and the new name Reds was adopted by a 2-1 margin in voting. The school subsequently adopted a bulldog as its new mascot.^[1]
