Rapids, Target, and U.S. Soccer Foundation dedicate mini-pitch at Denver’s George W. Wyatt Academy

Former Denver Public School (DPS) principal George W. Wyatt would be delighted to hear his high-energy students playing on a newly installed futsal hard court on the campus that is named after him.

Wyatt served as the principal of the campus and school building from 1913-1932. His namesake red sandstone, terra cotta, and brick stately school is located on the corners of East 36th Ave and Franklin in Denver’s Cole neighborhood, which is coincidently named for another DPS historical figure: Carlos M. Cole. Within the school system, Cole is known for creating many of Denver’s first middle schools.
