M eet the number-one per- forming school district in the Denver metro area – the Douglas County School District (DCSD). Here in DCSD we are proud to be narrowing the achievement gap for all federally recognized sub-populations. Did you know we deliver high-caliber education, along with activities, athletics and more — without the burden of tuition? But that’s not all. DCSD has the lowest staff turnover rate in the Denver metro area. Our teachers are incredibly com- mitted to our students and our mission. They are truly the heart and soul part of the DCSD family.
Located just south of Denver, you’ll find award-winning academics, top-shelf arts programs, and championship sports teams — including Mountain Vista High School’s two-time State Championship Girls Flag Football team (pictured here with our superintendent, Erin Kane). Whether our students go on to become NBA champions, perform on Broadway, attend college, or find their path to career fulfillment right here at home in Douglas County — we are so grateful for the opportunities to have equipped and empowered each of them for their own successes. We offer something for every family: early childhood education, before- and after-school care, special education,
gifted and talented education, Advanced Placement classes, AVID, International Baccalaureate programs, and so much more. We provide our students with pathways and opportunities to earn col- lege credits while in high school as well as industry certifications to directly enter the workforce after graduation. Our Amazing Alums are now shaping communities, driving innovation, and leaving a lasting impact. Whatever your student’s goal is, their unique pathway to success starts right here.
