Douglas County School District seeks to provide a liberal arts education
supporting the development of responsible citizens who are contributing
members of society. This vision calls for our students to think critically,
embrace ethical principles, demonstrate self-motivation and resourcefulness,
apply their learning, and take ownership of their own well being.

to ensure that the Learning Services Team is focused upon this vision
of our school district. The Learning Services Division includes three
branches of operations: School Improvement, Instructional Support Services,
and Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment, and Student Development. Collectively,

components of effective schooling – preschool through post-secondary
education options.
