Community Resources
We believe that everybody should have access to a quality education, but there are many needs that need to be met for education to have its value. If you or anyone you know may need help and resources for a number of reasons, here are a few links to get you started. You may also reach out to our fantastic counseling staff and administrators for help and assistance.
Operation Freebird
Operation Freebird, an event hosted by the Adams County Sheriff in coordination with Adams County Human Services, is Saturday, November 18th, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event takes place at Mountain States Toyota, 201 West 70th Avenue, in Denver. Attendees will receive everything needed to make a complete Thanksgiving meal, while supplies last. Other resources available at the event include dental screenings, flu shots, mental health resources, veterans’ services, housing, and food assistance, along with food and fun for kids.

Student Highlight- Ana Neri
Law Enforcement Student
Ana Neri is a senior at Northglenn High School.
She is in both the Firefighting and Law Enforcement programs at Washington Square. Both programs educate students who find a calling to care for and help others and their communities. Ana truly shows this, as she is very compassionate and caring. She said this connects to the two programs she is in, with goals “to protect others and the community”.
In class Ana is hardworking and involved; she is goal-oriented and dedicated to improving herself daily, which is why Mr. Schlenker nominated her to be the Student Highlight. When talking to Ana, her gratitude for the opportunities she has is evident, and she wants to make the most of those. She describes Washington Square as amazing, and appreciates the development of real-life skills for students’ futures. She also likes making new friends from all the different schools in the Adams 12 Five Star School District.
Congratulations Ana for Being November's Student Highlight!
