Our Mission
The mission of Durango School District 9-R, an innovative educational system committed to excellence, is to ensure each student develops the skills and attributes for lifelong learning and has the ability to compete and contribute in the global community, by guaranteeing equitable educational opportunities in a safe and healthy environment.


In an effort to build community support for the SBHCs, the district is asking for the community to help support operations by launching a new ‘Brick Campaign.’ The Brick Campaign allows community members to purchase one of two bricks, priced at $50 and $100 respectively. All profits collected from the campaign will go to cover operation costs, such as salaries for health care providers and supplies.
