I loved this school because most of the teachers love the kids and are super willing to work with them towards learning what they want to learn. There were all sorts of opportunities for different kinds of students as well as a variety of after school activities. I was in the theatre program and loved it and I have heard that other clubs were fun as well. Overall, I had a good experience and loved a lot of my time there!
I'm a current senior at DCHS, and I love it here! The teachers are awesome (for the most part) and actually care about your education, but they make sure you take responsibility, which is important to prepare for college. The rivalry with CVHS makes the fall interesting, and the rival game is definitely not something to miss.
I'm in the IB (International Baccalaureate) program, which is the best alternative for AP. It gets you college credit and recognized world-wide, and is a scarce program in Colorado, so that helps make DCHS special! I would highly recommend this school to anyone.

I enjoyed my 4 years at Douglas County High School. The past year was very challenging for all students and teachers due to Covid-19 restrictions. The challenging part was working remotely and going 2 days a week following the hybrid schedule. I missed out on a lot of fun things for my senior year but Douglas County High School and my teachers worked hard to keep us all engaged in these hard times. We received information that CHASSA approved spring sports. I play on the Tennis team and hope to be able to play for my senior year. I am very thankful for all the staff at Douglas County High School and will be graduating on May 19, 2021
