Fairview High School, Public high school in Boulder, United States
Fairview High School is a public high school in Boulder, Colorado, located on a campus that houses students in grades 9 through 12. The grounds include classrooms, sports facilities, a theater, and other buildings that support both academic and extracurricular programs.
Fairview High School opened in 1960 in a building on Baseline Road that now houses Nevin Platt Middle School. The current building opened in 1971, designed by Boulder architect Hobart D. Wagener, whose other local public work includes the University of Colorado's Kittredge Dormitories and Williams Village. Its modernist design drew praise for hexagonal classroom clusters, ramps and an open-classroom layout.
Fairview competes in the 5A category of the Colorado High School Activities Association, and its teams are called the Knights. The school's college and Career Center supports students with college preparation, and Fairview has a reputation for being academically demanding. Two-time Olympian Shayne Culpepper, a track and field athlete, works on staff as a guidance counselor.
The campus sits at 1515 Greenbriar Boulevard, about 26 miles northwest of Denver. The 1971 building by Hobart D. Wagener is arranged in hexagonal classroom clusters linked by ramps, so orientation follows those hexagons rather than a central corridor. As an active school, visitors should arrange access through the main office during school hours.
The current building, opened in 1971, was designed by Boulder architect Hobart D. Wagener, whose other public work includes the University of Colorado's Kittredge Dormitories and Williams Village.
