==History==
Englewood High's original ___location was at Broadway and Kenyon Avenues. As enrollment increased, the school grew out of its original building, and in 1953, construction on a new building began. The class of 1954 was the first to move into the new building, which still stands today. In the early 1960s the school renovated its structure, adding a full-size auditorium, library, and more classrooms. The school is currently located in Englewood at the corner of Mansfield Ave.Avenue and Logan St. Next to the campus is the Hosanna Athletic Complex, which contains the [[baseball]] and [[soccer]] fields. In [[2005]], a new [[artificial turf]] field was installed at a cost of $600,000Street.

==Sport==
Englewood competes in 3A and 4A athletics and has a whole complement of extracurricular programs. One is the award-winning ''Pirateer'' [[student newspaper]], considered one of the best in the state and part of the [[High School National Ad Network]]. The Pirate band regularly competes in state competitions and has won numerous awards.

Until September 17, 2008, the [[school principal|principal]] of Englewood High had been Linda Torres.

==Temporary Fame==
 
In [[2003]] the school received temporary fame when a set of [[senior prank]]s got out of hand. For the senior farewell assembly on the seniors' last day, some seniors decided to throw some well-hidden [[water balloon]]s into the crowd of underclassmen sitting in the nearby [[bleachers]]. Chaos ensued, and cries from staff members to relent did not calm the situation. Later it was discovered that some of the balloons had been filled with [[beer]], and at least one was filled with something else. Also, [[rat]]s were let loose in the hallways. The stunt resulted in a number of seniors not being allowed to walk at the [[graduation]] ceremony and the cancellation of the senior [[luau]]. Eventually [[MTV]] got wind of the stunt and featured a reenactment of Englewood's prank on a TV show that aired some months later.
The new 239,000 square foot campus, dedicated February 7, 2015, located at the corner of Mansfield Avenue and Logan Street, now accommodates roughly 1,250 students from the high school, Englewood Middle School and Englewood Leadership Academy.
