Steamboat Springs is a very special place.
U.S. News & World Report ranked it No. 3 in its Best Places to Visit in Colorado list, No. 4 in Best Ski Vacations in the USA, and No. 8 in Best Small Towns to Visit in the USA. The Steamboat Chamber of Commerce Relocation Guide touts what we all know to be true: Steamboat is a beautiful setting to raise a family and a place where education is highly valued.
Our community of students, educators, and families has worked hard and achieved so much. Our school district is “Accredited with Distinction” by the Colorado Department of Education, and
U.S. News & World Report ranks Steamboat Springs High School among the top 10 percent in its list of Colorado’s best high schools. Every month, we share our students’ successes in the classroom; on the field; and in math, robotics, drama competitions, and more—around the state and the nation.
In addition, our educators, coaches, and administrators are consistently recognized as leaders, innovators, and champions for their students. Two of our educators, Danica Moss and Kristi Lear, even reach superhero status when they were chosen as grand marshals for the Yampa Valley Bank Fourth of July parade this summer.
Our district may be remote, and it may be small, but we are uncompromising when it comes to what we set out to achieve for our students. We work hard to ensure that every year is better than the last and that our students have access to the opportunities they deserve, including programs that nurture their interests and services that support their academic success, mental health, and physical safety. That remains our focus in the year ahead.
Our families and community members are essential partners in what we do every day. You can be involved and contribute to our student's success in a number of ways. We encourage you to come into our buildings this fall (bring a neighbor with you!), cheer on our students at Gardner Field, watch a drama performance in the high school’s auditorium, volunteer on a school Parent Information Committee, and participate in the Steamboat Sneak 5k Fun Run, which benefits the Challenge Fund. Our students thrive with your support.
Welcome back!
