Englewood Police have released photos of vandals who broke into Englewood High School.
Three adult men broke into the school, early Sunday morning, and vandalized various parts of the school.
They smashed windows, damaged computers in a computer lab, and set fires in the band room.
The fires set off the fire alarms, which drew police and firefighters to the school.
The sprinkler system knocked out the fires, but the water added to the damage done.
A two thousand dollar reward is being offered for information which leads to an arrest.
Anyone with information should call the Englewood Police Department at 303-761-7410 or Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867.

Chicago Given 6 Months to Write New Gun Laws
On Tuesday, US District Judge Edmond Chang agreed to Chicago's request for a delay to allow for gun sales.
The city had requested one hundred and eighty days and Chang granted it.
Chang had ruled on Monday, January 6, that the city's gun ban was unconstitutional, and then stayed his own ruling to give the city time to appeal.
However, Chicago decided not to appeal the decision only asking for the delay to make new laws.
This sets the way for gun sales to begin in mid July.
Chicago had taken a lot of grief over the gun laws, which despite being the strictest in the US, were unable to stop gun violence.
In fact, gun violence only increased each year since the ban was put into place.

Constitutional Vote in Egypt
Egyptians once again voted for a constitution, on Wednesday, though with notable distinctions from the last vote.
The turn out for this new mostly secular constitution is much greater than the thirty-three percent of the previous Islamic based constitution.
Many Egyptians are celebrating this constitution as one that actually brings freedom to the people.
If it passes, as is expected, it will set up general elections later this year.
Unfortunately, violence also marred this vote, as supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood attacked poll stations and clashed with voters and security forces.
Eight people have been killed in the violence, with at least sixty-six arrests made.
The Muslim Brotherhood, which is recognized as a terrorist organization, and other Islamic groups boycotted this constitutional vote, saying that it is illegitimate for various reasons.
