Marycrest Girls High School was an all female high school located at 5320 Federal Boulevard in Denver, Colorado, United States. [1] The school was a private Roman Catholic institution. [2]
The Sisters of St. Francis of Penance and Christian Charity purchased property near 52nd Avenue and Federal Boulevard in northwest Denver to house a convent and motherhouse for their order's new midwestern province in 1938. They christened the property Marycrest. The sisters converted their novitiate into Marycrest High School in 1958. The school's enrollment peaked around 200 in the 1970s, when it was known as a female counterpart to nearby Regis Jesuit High School. The school closed in 1988. [3]
Following the school's closure, its campus was leased to Tennyson Center for Children with an option for that organization to purchase the property. [4] In 1996, the building was demolished and replaced with assisted living residences. [5]

Highland is a distinct city-center neighborhood in Denver, Colorado, United States, bounded by West 38th Avenue to the north, a Union Pacific Railroad line on the east, the South Platte River to the southeast, Speer Boulevard on the south, and Federal Boulevard on the west. The Highlands is sometimes used to refer to two separate city-center neighborhoods in Denver; Highland and West Highland, although the two neighborhoods are distinct. Highland and West Highland are both in the area that is referred to as the Northside. Highland is located immediately northwest of downtown. Note that the Highland neighborhood association has a slightly different definition with the easternmost boundary stopping at I-25. And the West Highland neighborhood to the immediate west of Highland, with the borders of 38th and 29th Avenues on the north and south and Federal and Sheridan Boulevards on the east and west. To distinguish between its immediately adjacent neighbor, West Highland, Highland is sometimes referred to as East Highland, Lower Highland or LoHi. The two together are casually called "the Highlands," a term which often falsely encompasses other Northwest Denver neighborhoods such as Jefferson Park, Sunnyside and Berkeley. Realtors have particularly pushed the inclusion of the recently gentrified Berkeley, located directly north of West Highland, as part of the Highlands, sometimes going so far as to refer to Berkeley and parts of Sunnyside as the "Upper Highlands". To add further confusion, within the Highlands neighborhoods there are several historic designations of various degrees, including Potter Highlands, Scottish Highlands and Highlands Park.
