Farmers flock to high school despite snow

Wheat Ridge High School was a hub of activity on April 16, snowy weather notwithstanding.

There was a practice AP test and a community-build project with the Colorado Construction Institute. Astronaut Joe Tanner gave a presentation. And the school’s STEM team was finishing work on their cars for the Shell Eco-marathon.

“We have a lot of busy Saturdays here at Wheat Ridge,” said principal Griff Wirth. “We have all kinds of student engagement opportunities, and have a vibrant school where kids have a lot of options.”
