We are a mountain school with a lot to offer

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. We are a unique mountain school with a lot to offer. 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

Students at Gilpin operate in an atmosphere of student ownership where student centered classrooms are a priority. The Gilpin teaching staff is committed to be the best at what we do by continuing their learning. 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.
