Located at an altitude of 8,852 feet in the southwest mountains of Colorado, the Creede School District serves a community of approximately 600 people. Silver mining was the industry that created Creede and, consequently, the high school mascot became the Miner. Several one-room school houses were scattered in the surrounding mountains at the turn of thecentury. Over time, they banded together to form one consolidated district. Class sizes remain small providing a quality education for all of its students.
