As a school project, students have set up a museum with details about and artifacts from the Granada War Relocation Center.[4] John Hopper, a history teacher at the school, started a program in the early 1990s to educate students about the Japanese American internment camp located near the community during World War II, gathering photos and interviewing those interned at the camps. Through the efforts of students and their Amache Preservation Society, the camp has been designated as a National Historic Landmark.[5] Students from the school have traveled around the state, teaching other students about the internment camp.[6]
Athletics
The Granada Bobcats compete in the High Plains League of the Colorado High School Activities Association. The team colors are green and white.[7]
Despite the school's extremely small enrollment, the school's sports teams have earned recognition as state champions in several sports administered by the Colorado High School Activities Association:[8]
- Baseball: 1991 (1A-2A) and 1995 (2A)[9]
- Boys' basketball: 1989 (A-II) and 1991 (1A)
