Mission

We will increase student achievement while closing the achievement gaps, to become the top public high school in the state.

Principal's Message

Please Read The Student Handbook

Please review the 2018-2019 student handbook for significant changes including: senior attendance/walking at graduation, recovery credits, schedule repairs, and making up final exams. All students will be provided with a copy of the student handbook and time to review it during their first Advisory class session.

Important for Beginning of the Year Registration

Get Involved in a Club at DHS!

Durango High School has a ton of clubs and activities for students that can help them better engage and succeed in school. Meeting times are often announced on the morning announcements or you can contact the sponsor.

Shaun Smith Selected as SkillsUSA Advisor of the Year

Forward to minute 55 to see the nomination and celebration of Mr. Smith.

Student IDs

Students will be issued IDs again this year. New 2018/19 IDs will be distributed following your school’s Fall picture day. IDs issued last year should be used in lieu of the new IDs until the new photos and IDs are produced. These IDs are important for safety and security, allow access to bus transportation services, can be used with City Transit and are required for school library use.

9-R Community Connection

Durango 9-R is updating our Friday Folder communications to save paper, staff time, and support our community partners. Starting this year, all Friday Folders (or Thursday Folders at some schools) will be reserved for school and district communications.

Own, Act, Impact to Prepare for the Future

Welcome back to another great school year in Durango! Whether your child is attending one of our 9-R schools, one of our charter schools, or one of our private education institutions, I have no doubt that a great year is ahead for him or her.

First Day Full Day

There will be no early release on the first day of school. Please plan for a for a full school day.
