School Overview

Westminster High School, located at 6933 Raleigh St in Westminster, Colorado, serves as the flagship secondary institution for the Westminster Public Schools district. Known for its modern, expansive campus—often referred to as the "Wolves" community—the school utilizes a competency-based learning model. This approach moves away from traditional seat-time requirements, allowing students to progress through their curriculum based on their mastery of specific skills and content rather than strictly by grade level.

The school is characterized by its commitment to career and college readiness, offering a robust selection of Advanced Placement (AP) courses, Concurrent Enrollment programs that allow students to earn college credit, and various Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways. Beyond academics, Westminster High School maintains a vibrant extracurricular environment, featuring a wide range of athletic teams, performing arts programs, and student organizations designed to foster school spirit and student engagement in a diverse, collaborative educational setting.

It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
