Stories from the Report to the Community: A Message from our District 6 Leadership

As we reflect on this past year, the word that continues to rise to the surface is gratitude. It is our honor to share the Report to the Community, but more importantly, it is to say, "THANK YOU." In Greeley-Evans School District 6, we know that we not only serve a community; we are part of one. The success of our students is a direct reflection of the incredible support we receive from our families, local businesses, and our civic partners. 

We have so much to celebrate together. Our collective hard work has led us to a historic milestone, achieving an all-time high graduation rate exceeding 90 percent. This is not just a number - it represents hundreds of individual success stories and bright futures for our students. This excellence is felt across our school sites, with 18 schools earning the "performance rating," the highest designation from the Colorado Department of Education. And of course, our pride reached new heights this year as we celebrated our very own Stephen Paulson, a social studies and AVID teacher at Greeley Central High School, as the Colorado Teacher of the Year. His recognition is a powerful reminder of the extraordinary educators in District 6 who inspire, support, and guide students every single day.

These achievements are made possible because you have chosen to invest in our children. We are deeply grateful for the community trust in renewing the Mill Levy Override and for your continued support as we complete the first phase of bond projects throughout District 6. These investments allow us to provide the safe and modern facilities our students deserve. 

Beyond the classroom walls, we are fully focused on what comes next. Through our expanding career pathways, we are bridging the gap between graduation and the workforce. We are ensuring our students have clear and successful routes into our local economy. Our goal is simple: to prepare our students for a future where they can give back to the very community that has supported them through their journey with District 6. 

We are proud of all that District 6 has accomplished this past year, and we are ready to set our sights on even higher goals for the 2026-2027 school year. Thank you for taking the time to read the stories and progress shared within this annual report. We are grateful for you and honored to serve the children of our community.
