Rangeview High School Embarks On Historical Treasure Hunt

Rangeview High School Embarks On Historical Treasure Hunt

Rangeview High School is embarking on a historical treasure hunt and is asking the Aurora community for help.

As Rangeview celebrates its benchmark 30^th anniversary, principal Ron Fay tasked a committee of staff members to dig into the school’s history. After learning about so many significant local, national and world events that impacted the Aurora community, the committee now hopes to preserve Rangeview’s identity.

Staff members are asking the public to help them collect historic artifacts that date back to 1980. All chosen artifacts will be properly documented with a story, safely preserved, and then placed in a revolving exhibit in the school’s main entrance.

“Our goal is for anybody from the Aurora community, no matter the generation, race, gender, religion or ethnicity, to see our exhibit and feel a connection to the past 30 years,” said Scott Snyder, co-chair of the committee.

Artifacts may include anything related to past/current school traditions, old report cards, yearbooks or letterhead. Outdated pieces of technology, significant newspaper articles, and notable fashion trends would also be appreciated.

Community members can submit items for review through this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1b2idPMfvRiTfh6EcVXHXWoUJxI5nLQhv-TY3RiL8ZTc/viewform?edit_requested=true
