Message from the Principal
The Gilpin County Undivided High School consists of the Gilpin County Middle School (GCMS) and Gilpin County High School (GCHS). At Gilpin Schools we believe in the safety, active engagement, and academic success of all our students. Gilpin is based on the premise that all students can learn, and it is our job as educators to facilitate that learning. Our purpose at Gilpin Schools is to prepare students for college and/or the workforce. We strive to uncover student potential and inspire to motivate and engage our students.
An important aspect of Gilpin Schools is the small class size and relationships established among teachers, students, and families. It is our belief that it must be a cooperative effort between all these entities to allow for each student to reach his/her potential.
We offer:
- Individualized instruction and small class sizes
- A Chromebook for every student
- Advanced Placement courses in core content areas
- Dual enrollment college courses
- Vocational programs through Warren Tech
Students have an opportunity to participate in a variety of extracurricular activities:
- Outstanding Fine Arts Programs that include drama productions, visual arts, and vocal and instrumental music programs
- National Honor Society and Junior National Honor Society
- Interact Club
- Student Council
