Columbine High School
The Class of 1999 was to be the first class to attend the bigger, better high school. Columbine High School - named after Colorado's state flower - underwent a $15 million dollar makeover in 1995 and an opening ceremony in August of that year welcomed Eric Harris, Dylan Klebold and all the other students to a brand new cafeteria, student entrance and halls. It was the first facelift the school had done to it since the 70's. In just four years the school would need another costly renovation due to the damages inflicted to it on April 20, 1999. Below you can find photos and information about the school before, during and after the shootings.
