Northglenn Committee launches digital campaign to celebrate local historical milestones

In the heart of Northglenn, a vibrant discussion unfolded at the recent City Council Study Session, where members of the historical committee shared exciting plans to celebrate the city’s rich heritage. The committee is set to launch a digital campaign that will spotlight significant historical milestones, including the establishment of local schools and the influential figures behind their names, such as Stuckey and Leroy from the Adams 12 school district.

As the conversation flowed, council members reflected on the deep connections many alumni have with the community. Notably, one council member shared a personal story about their daughter, who now teaches in the very district where she once attended school. This sentiment resonated with many, highlighting the enduring ties that bind residents to their roots.

The committee's efforts will also delve into the city's past through the lens of microfiche archives, revealing fascinating insights into Northglenn's transformation over the decades. From the aerial views of the city during the construction of Northglenn High in the 1960s to the evolution of local streets like Melody Drive, the historical narrative promises to be both engaging and enlightening.

In addition to the digital campaign, the committee plans to unveil a new logo and encourage local schools to participate in the celebrations. While some schools are newer, many have stood the test of time, serving as pillars of the community. This initiative not only aims to honor the past but also to foster a sense of pride and connection among current residents and alumni alike.

As Northglenn prepares to embark on this journey of historical exploration, the excitement is palpable. The upcoming campaign is sure to bring the community together, celebrating the stories that have shaped Northglenn into the vibrant city it is today.
