News & Announcements

On Aug. 26, Durango High School (DHS) Culinary students in Joe Burns’ class took on a blindfolded puzzle challenge to put their communication skills to the test.

Using ClassVR headsets from the Ignite Mobile Learning Lab, DHS students recently explored 360-degree views of famous monuments around the world. Then, it was time to move to the Impact Career Innovation Center's Maker Space and take on a challenge: What story of America do YOU want to tell?

Register today for "Garlic in the Garden," a free community workshop to learn about planting and growing garlic in our high desert climate.

DSD has recommended consolidating Sunnyside Elementary with the new Three Springs Elementary School when it opens in fall 2028. The district's Sunnyside Elementary Recommendation webpage brings the recommendation, timeline, supporting information, community feedback, and Board decision process together in one place. The Board of Education is expected to consider the recommendation on Sept. 22.

Durango School District students and schools have plenty to celebrate in newly released 2025-2026 state assessment and preliminary school performance results.

DATE CHANGE! Our back to school night is now Sept. 9 from 6-7:30 p.m. at DHS. We encourage all parents/guardians to attend. The program and structure has shifted slightly from past years to encourage better attendance and engagement.

Like many high schools, Durango High School has a limited number of student parking spaces, and demand for permits exceeds the number available. As the school year gets underway, DHS is working to keep arrival and dismissal safe and traffic moving smoothly, while encouraging students and families to consider the many ways to get to school beyond driving a personal vehicle.

Mondays are Early Release days for all students. School ends one hour earlier. Please check your school's bell schedule on the Durango School District (DSD) Back to School Hub webpage for the Monday release time.

The final check-in for Summer Bridge is happening now. Students have until Friday, Sept. 4, to turn in their completed literacy and math books to their school's front office and be entered for the big end-of-summer raffle.
