It’s being called “Ranum Reimagined,” a vision to renovate Ranum Middle School to create an expanded Career Technical Education (CTE) program providing high school students more space and options than ever before. Depending on construction timelines and availability of supplies, the new campus will likely open sometime in the 2023 school year.  

The Ranum community was told of the plan late last month and informed them that at the conclusion of this school year, Ranum will no longer serve as a middle school. Current and future students will be given numerous choices about where to continue their education in Westminster Public Schools. Ranum, with its outstanding athletic facilities, will continue to serve as the home for the Westy Futures/Juniors program which provides team sports opportunities for young students.

Principal Shannon Willy has decided to retire in May and fully supports the decision to change the focus of the school. Current Ranum staff members will be reassigned once families decide where students will attend school.

Planning for the campus is an ongoing process and updates will be available at MyWPS.org/RanumReimagined.
