Students from across the district put their spelling skills to the test at the CCSD Annual Spelling Bee! With fierce competition, quick thinking, and a love for words, these talented elementary and middle school spellers gave it their all.

The Cherry Creek School District achieved its highest-ever graduation rate with an on-time (or four-year) graduation rate for the class of 2024 of 91.2%. The new graduation rate is up from 90.3% for the class of 2023 and comes as the district continues to implement the CCSD Strategic Plan, which outlines three key priorities: 1) Literacy; 2) Health and Wellbeing; and 3) Disproportionality.

Another example of the power of collaboration is the recent launch of the Aspiring Educator Pathway, developed by the Cherry Creek School District (CCSD) in partnership with the Community College of Aurora. According to the Colorado Department of Education’s most recently published workforce survey results, for the 2023-2024 school year, over 8,000 teaching and support staff positions needed to be filled. This represents approximately 12% of all teaching positions and 15% of all support staff positions in Colorado.

Funding for Cherry Creek Schools - Make your voice heard
We have been sharing information about a proposed funding cut to K-12 education and the Cherry Creek School District. We know there have been questions about school funding, how we might be impacted, and how you can take action.
The video above with Superintendent Chris Smith and Chief Financial and Operating Officer Scott Smith explains more about how these cuts to K-12 education funding would dramatically impact our students and community. Please take the time to watch the video and continue to make your voice heard. Please visit www.kidsmattertoo.org to send a letter or visit our CCSD Legislative Updates page to call CCSD lawmakers.
