Big Picture Information

Our third year is off to a great start with our students picking up right where they left off, diving into their project work, starting internships, and welcoming our new students. We’re continuing to grow and have a fantastic group of students. Our building is busier than ever with the new students, returning students, and the addition of Liberty School on the second floor. We’re also very excited about our first graduating class. The seniors have been really focusing on starting their Senior Institute projects, which includes a community-based project, an autobiography, writing their college essays, applying to college, and completing at least one college class.

If you, or your child, are thinking about or curious about Durango Big Picture High School, we encourage you to come visit our school. Please call 259-0203 to set up an appointment and come check out Durango Big Picture!
