Mission

The Mission of the Douglas County School District is to provide an educational foundation that allows each student to reach his or her individual potential.

About Us

Douglas County School District maintains its position as a "lighthouse" district with many innovative programs and educational approaches. Support and coordination can be found at the district level, but each school has the flexibility to build its own instructional programs. Parents can find many different choices through the district such as open enrollment, charter schools, instruction for gifted and talented students, a magnet school, an International Baccalaureate program, Advanced Placement courses and other special programs. Our mission is "to provide an educational foundation that allows each student to reach his or her individual potential." We strive to maintain a well-researched, integrated and standards-based curriculum, a rich array of extracurricular offerings and strong community involvement.
