At the Mancos School District, our unwavering commitment is to create a learning environment where every student can thrive. Guided by the Board of Education, we focus on district goals designed to ensure continuous improvement and student success. Our approach is built around five key pillars: team-driven shared leadership, data-based problem-solving, evidence-based best practices, layered support for the diverse needs of students and staff, and strong community and family partnerships. By working together, we aim to build a caring, supportive school district where your children are empowered to excel both socially and academically, preparing them for life beyond graduation. Please share your feedback about these goals with Superintendent Cordrey at TCordrey@Mancosre6.edu, or Board President Emily Hutcheson-Brown at EHutcheson-Brown@Mancosre6.edu.
We appreciate your continued support of the Mancos School District.
