Reports & Studies
Social Worlds and Youth Well-Being
The Social Worlds and Youth Well-Being Study examines the impact of social environments on youth's mental health and resilience to identify strategies for improving youth suicide prevention in schools and communities. From 2019 to 2023 Dr. Anna Mueller and her team worked with seven of our secondary schools to determine why our suicide risk and completion rate for adolescents is higher than state and national averages. Dr. Mueller will be here to present the findings of the study to our community and the recommendations in addressing this issue.

Strategic Plan
Mesa County School District 51 is committed to academic excellence with tailored support for every student. With a dedicated team of nearly 3,500 employees, we serve over 20,000 students across 46 schools and programs. We strive to create a positive and inclusive learning environment where every student can thrive.
In the fall of 2021, District 51 gave a seat at the table to stakeholders, families, staff, and community partners and worked to create a three-year, community-driven strategic plan that would serve as our north star. This plan outlines the district's commitment to Engage, Equip, and Empower each and every student, each and every day. Our work is grounded in our graduate profile, ensuring that every student who completes their education with D51 embodies the qualities of being Creative Problem Solvers, Culturally Connected individuals, and Ready for Career and Life.
These strategic objectives are foundational to the success of our district and students. By allocating resources to address the needs of our educational community and adequately preparing future generations, we can continue pursuing academic excellence for years to come.
