NEWS & UPCOMING EVENTS
Dear Cougar Families,
This year our Student Senate has transitioned from being an after-school activity to being a class. One of the most visible impacts of this change has been that our student leaders have had the time to expand their leadership in meaningful ways.
In October they created multiple opportunities for students to connect at school and with the larger community. This month Senate:
Partnered with Wilmot Elementary to help make the elementary school's annual Trunk-or-Treat event a community success, bringing more EHS students into this experience
Organized a Boys Volleyball event
Put on a Costume Contest during Advise, complete with a runway, judging and prizes in the library
Planned an end-of-day Trick-or-Treat event for EHS students who may (depending on who you ask) be too old to trick-or-treat in their neighborhoods
In November Senate is engaging in outreach to support families and students experiencing food insecurity.
Each month Senate is putting their skills to work, identifying areas of need or partnership in the Evergreen community, finding unique and positive ways for students to feel connected to EHS and to their peers during the school day, and energizing student culture.
Thank you to Sarah Grundemann for her dedication to these students and their development as leaders. Thank you to our Student Senate for bringing so many excellent opportunities to EHS!
As we make our way through the year, we will continue to maintain our tradition of excellence while celebrating each student as an individual. This makes EHS an excellent school, an exceptional community and a model for extraordinary student culture.
Feel free to reach out via email (skyler.artes@jeffco.k12.co.us), phone (303.982.5126), or simply drop by.
Warm regards,
Dr. Skyler Artes, Principal

Evergreen High School Bleacher Projects Nears Fundraising Goal!
The long-awaited bleacher renovation at Evergreen High School is moving closer to reality, with a groundbreaking set for May 15, 2025, weather permitting. With over 200 generous supporters, the project has already raised an impressive $273,000 toward the $325,000 goal.
The project has seen overwhelming support from the community, with contributions coming from local families, alumni, and businesses eager to enhance the school's athletic and event spaces.
Fundraising efforts will continue as the project looks to bridge the final gap in funds needed. The Bleacher Committee is working on grant and foundation funding to help meet the $325,000 target, ensuring the completion of this much-anticipated upgrade.
The Evergreen High School community extends its gratitude to everyone who has contributed, making this project possible. As the countdown to May 2025 begins, Evergreen High stands ready to break new ground—literally and figuratively—on what promises to be a new era for the school.
