We have been enrolling new students for the class of 2025 over the past month. At this time, enrollment is almost full. We are still going through the process for several more students: 1) application, 2) shadow day, 3) family interview.
We encourage anyone interested to get the first step of the process completed which is filling out the application.
Please call us at 970-259-0203 with any questions that you have.
Dear Parents,
We have been seeing some concerning patterns among our secondary students and I wanted to bring to your attention some of our findings. Over the past few weeks, there has been an increase in reports of students sharing inappropriate pictures of themselves with friends.

On March 3, 2021, 9-R was notified by San Juan Basin Public Health (SJBPH) that individuals across Durango High School, Miller Middle School, and Needham Elementary, as well as individuals in Track at DHS and individuals in Basketball at Miller Middle School and Escalante Middle School, were in close contact with an individual who tested positive for COVID-19, causing nine (9) cohorts to quarantine. The school and the district are working proactively with the SJBPH to make the appropriate notifications and next steps for those who may have been in close contact with this individual.
This week our community continues to remain in yellow on the COVID-19 dial for our region. These fluctuations are the reason the district will not move on its Return to In-Person Learning Matrix until 14 days of steady community transmission rates, as well as personnel availability remains stable.
For this week of February 22, 2021, seven (7) cohorts, six (6) at Durango High School and one (1) at Park Elementary, were put into quarantine.
The mission of Durango Big Picture High School is to empower students to use their interests and passions to drive their learning through real world application and experiences in order to reach their personal, social and academic goals.
