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.
D51 engaged our community, families, and staff to deliver individualized, collaborative, and challenging educational experiences to prepare each and every student for their brightest future.
