Warren Tech Students Shine!
Spotlight on Student Projects and Accomplishments 

ACRES Farm Produce Sale

ACRES Farm is Warren Tech's urban farm and classroom for the Farm-to-Table program. ACRES-grown produce shares are now on sale!

Purchase a “share” of ACRES’ produce and pick it up weekly or bi-weekly from the farm.

A share purchase directly supports Warren Tech students, who have planted, cultivated, and harvested the produce received in the purchase. 

Support Jeffco students and eat your veggies!

 

Graduating...with a College Degree

Warren Tech student James Davenport will be graduating with an associate of applied sciences in precision machining through Red Rocks Community College and Warren Tech, and he graduates from Addenbrooke Classical Academy at the same time!

In a year like no other, James' dedication, the support of his parents, and the support from Addenbrooke Classical Academy have paid off. We honor his accomplishment!

James will be continuing his education in the fall at Mesa University through the CMU/CU Boulder Engineering Partnership Program.
