Please Note: Athletic Registration Platform will be changing next school year (2025-26). Jeffco schools will no longer be using the rschools athletic registration and ALL families will be required to create a new family account. Only one family account per athlete is permitted. If you have a sports physical attached to the current registration platform, you will need to save it as it will not be carried over to the new platform. The CHSAA sports physical form will be the only form accepted moving forward. A sports physical is required for athletic registration and is good for 365 days. You can find the form on the GHS Athletic website. Please contact Amber Hayes (Amber.Hayes@jeffco.k12.co.us) with any questions.

The sun is setting on an unforgettable year at Warren Tech, and we’re sending it off right.

3 stages. 11 bands! Food trucks. Local vendors.

This is the Golden Hour Fest — a year-end celebration run almost entirely by our students in Live Sound & Event Production. As part of our Career & Technical Education program, this festival is more than just a show — it’s the culmination of a year of hard work, hands-on learning, and passion for live music.

Right before our seniors graduate, we’re throwing one final blowout!

Proceeds support local artists, the Dakota Ridge facilities team, and Warren Tech programs. Come out, vibe, and support the future of the live events industry — still in high school.
