EVERGREEN, Colo. — Evergreen High School was evacuated Friday afternoon while firefighters responded to a report of smoke.
A spokesperson for Evergreen Fire Rescue said they were alerted to smoke in the school's weight room a few minutes after 1 p.m. The school is located at 29300 Buffalo Park Road.
