DCSD middle school students embark on a three day adventure at our Legacy Campus to explore a multitude of career and technical pathways offered throughout our school district.

Another outstanding school year here in Douglas County has come and gone. The 2026 school year was a huge success! The hard work of our students, families and staff members is reflected in the numerous awards, scholarships, and memories we will all carry into the next school year. Congratulations, Class of 2026!

Clear Sky Elementary (CSE) is bringing sustainability to life by taking composting efforts full circle, thanks to an incredible partnership with Castle Rock Composting.

​Throughout the school year, students and staff have worked hard to collect food scraps from the cafeteria, keeping valuable organic material out of the landfill. Next, the scraps were transformed into rich, nutrient-filled compost. This finished compost has returned to its composting beginning at CSE, used to enrich garden beds, support outdoor learning spaces and help grow new plants.

The Prairie Crossing Elementary (PCE) community celebrated a proud moment when a former student returned to share her talents. Earlier this spring, former PCE student Neve Cavalcanti painted a beautiful mural for the school.
 

In the business world, company leaders set standards through mission and vision statements and by listing their values. In the education world, it’s all about setting examples and teaching what are called Norms. DCSD’s norms for Culture and Climate are the topic for this episode – our season finale as the school year comes to a close. We’re bookending the season by welcoming back our very first guest: Supt. Erin Kane, along with Alicia Elmore is the director of our Before and After School Enterprise, or BASE, program, and Dion Killingsworth is director of Human Resources.
