Hidden Lake High School pledges support!


Hidden Lake High School is an alternative high school in Westminster, Colorado that is home to 300 students and focuses on experiential learning and various non-traditional methods to reach its students and help them find success. James Steward and Lottie Wilson are the administrative team that challenge the staff of twenty to make learning accessible and challenging for the students. Many of the students use the alternative approaches in the classroom to find success where they have never before had any and there is an atmosphere of success that is shared by staff and student alike. Over the course of the 2010-2011 school year Hidden Lake High School will be fundraising to play their part in the Heart of Yapatera program in order to help build a playground for those students and their community. It is the goal of the school to raise as much money as possible to participate in this humanitarian effort and to show our students that they can indeed impact the world.
