I am thrilled to extend my warmest greetings to each and every one of you as we embark on another exciting school year here at Pagosa Springs High School. Whether you are returning or joining us for the first time, I am confident that the year ahead holds incredible promise and opportunities for growth, learning, and success.

Over the past months, our dedicated faculty and staff have been working diligently to prepare for your return. Our classrooms have been meticulously arranged, lesson plans developed, and safety measures put in place to ensure that we provide a secure and enriching environment for everyone. The health and well-being of our students and staff continue to be our utmost priority, and we will remain vigilant in following recommended guidelines to ensure a safe educational experience.

At Pagosa Springs High School, we believe in fostering a strong sense of community and collaboration. Our commitment to academic excellence, personal development, and inclusivity will be evident in every aspect of the coming year. We encourage our students to embrace challenges, ask questions, and think critically as they engage with a diverse range of subjects and experiences.

Parents and guardians, your partnership is invaluable to us. We invite you to stay engaged in your child's educational journey by attending parent-teacher conferences, participating in school events, and maintaining open lines of communication with our teachers and staff. Together, we can provide the support and encouragement our students need to thrive academically and emotionally.

As we look ahead, we are excited about the extracurricular activities, sports events, arts performances, and other opportunities for students to explore their interests beyond the classroom. These experiences are integral to a well-rounded education, and I encourage every student to take advantage of them.

I am confident that the 2023-2024 school year will be one of growth, achievement, and memorable moments. I look forward to getting to know each of you better as we work towards our mission of preparing for success by continuously improving.

Let us approach this year with enthusiasm, a thirst for knowledge, and a spirit of unity. Together, we will make this school year exceptional!

Warmest regards,

Sean O’Donnell
