As the third-largest school district in Colorado, the Douglas County School District (DCSD) proudly serves more than 62,000 students from preschool through 12th grade. Committed to educational excellence and innovation, our teachers and staff are recognized leaders in public education, offering student-centered learning experiences tailored to individual needs.

While support and strategic coordination are provided at the district level, each school within DCSD maintains the flexibility to design its own instructional programs. This approach empowers schools to meet the unique needs of their communities while upholding high academic standards.

DCSD offers a wide range of educational choices for families, including open enrollment, charter schools, gifted and talented programming, magnet schools, International Baccalaureate (IB), Advanced Placement (AP) courses, and other specialized programs. Our mission is to ensure every student has the opportunity, support, and resources to reach their full potential.
