For over 60 years, the Douglas County School District (DCSD) has strived to provide innovative educational approaches tailored to every student. Here in Highlands Ranch, DCSD has two school feeders: the Highlands Ranch High School feeder, and Rock Canyon High School feeder, each featuring amazing middle school, elementary school and preschool offerings.

Highlands Ranch families can access the educational options within our schools that best meet their students' needs. DCSD schools offer a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where students can discover their strengths and talents and develop their unique potential.

Programs include:

  • College and Career Readiness

  • Honors and Advanced Placement Offerings

  • Concurrent Enrollment (students earn college credits while in high school)

  • Career and Technical Education (preparing students to enter the workforce directly after graduation)

  • A variety of sports, clubs and extracurricular activities

  • Advanced Education (such as gifted and talented programs)

  • Special education and related services in alignment with the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Colorado’s Exceptional Children’s Education Act (ECEA)

  • Early Childhood Education/Preschool

  • Before and After School Enterprise (B.A.S.E.)

  • Parent engagement committees and programs


We encourage you to learn more about the DCSD schools in your area. Contact any of our schools to learn more about their unique offerings. We can’t wait to welcome you into our Douglas County School District family!

NOTICE OF DESTRUCTION OF SPECIAL EDUCATION RECORDS

Special Education records which have been collected by Douglas County School District related to the identification, evaluation, educational placement, or the provision of special education in the district, must be maintained under state and federal laws for the period of five (5) years after special education services have ended for the student. Special education services end when the student is no longer eligible for services, graduates, or completes his/her educational program at age 21, or moves from the district. This notification is to inform parents/guardians and former students of Douglas County School District's intent to destroy the special education records of students who exited special education services as of June 30, 2016. These records will be destroyed in accordance with state law unless the parent/guardian or eligible (adult) student notifies the school district otherwise. After five years, the records are no longer useful to the district, but may be useful to the parent/guardian or former student in applying for social security benefits, rehabilitation services, college entrance, etc. The parent/guardian or eligible (adult) student may request a copy of the records by requesting the records at this link ( Douglas County School District Transcripts and Records Requests ).
