FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Doherty High School Celebrates Grand Opening Of Wilfong Family Fieldhouse — A Lasting Investment In Students And Community (Photo) - 02/26/26

Colorado Springs, CO – On Thursday, March 5 at 1:30 p.m., Doherty High School will proudly host a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and Grand Opening for the new Wilfong Family Fieldhouse — a transformative space made possible through the extraordinary generosity and longstanding support of the Wilfong family.

 

For years, the Wilfong family has stood alongside Doherty High School as champions for students, athletics, and opportunity. The Fieldhouse now stands as a powerful symbol of what is possible when community and school unite around a shared vision for young people.

 

The state-of-the-art indoor facility features a full indoor turf field designed to expand opportunities across a wide range of athletic and extracurricular programs. Doherty student-athletes will train and compete in men’s and women’s soccer, football, women’s flag football, baseball, softball, golf, and track. Beyond athletics, the Fieldhouse will also serve as a dedicated practice home for the school’s marching band and other student activities — ensuring year-round access to high-quality space regardless of Colorado’s unpredictable weather.

 

More than just a building, the Wilfong Family Fieldhouse represents access, equity, and opportunity. It creates space for students to grow not only as athletes and performers, but as leaders, teammates, and scholars.

“This incredible gift from the Wilfong Family represents far more than a new facility — it is a lasting investment in our students, our programs, and our future,” Hillary Heinton, Principal at Doherty, shared. “The Fieldhouse expands participation, enhances training, and strengthens the spirit of Spartan pride that defines Doherty High School. Generations of students will benefit from this remarkable partnership.”

 

The ribbon cutting ceremony will bring together students, staff, alumni, community members, and the Wilfong family to celebrate this milestone moment — one that reflects the power of partnership and the deep belief that when a community invests in its schools, everyone wins.
