WELCOME TO RE-1 VALLEY
WHERE WE ARE
PREPARING EACH STUDENT
TODAY FOR TOMORROW!
Welcome to the Re-1 Valley School District website and the 2024-2025 school year. We hope you will find this site helpful and user friendly. Like most school districts, we are constantly upgrading our website in order to provide an even better way to inform you of the many great things that are happening in our school district.
Our school district is located in Logan County and includes the city of Sterling and the towns of Iliff, Crook, Proctor and Padroni. The District provides many outstanding educational opportunities for students from preschool through the twelfth grade with all the schools meeting Colorado Department of Education accreditation standards.
Preschool education is provided for qualified three- and four-year-old students through the Colorado Universal Preschool Program and the Federal Individuals with Disabilities Act. Preschool programs are housed at Caliche Elementary School and Hagen Early Education Center in Sterling.
The District has two elementary schools in Sterling. Ayres Elementary School houses Kindergarten through grade 2 and Campbell Elementary School houses grades 3 through 5. Caliche Elementary School follows a grades K-6 format. All three elementary schools utilize self-contained classrooms offering a well-balanced academic curriculum along with music, art and physical education.
Sterling Middle School houses grades 6-8 offering a well-balanced academic curriculum and exploratory classes to assist students in selecting future courses of study. The middle school also offers choir, band, football, volleyball, basketball, wrestling and track.
Sterling High School houses grades 9-12 and offers a comprehensive secondary course of study including vocational programs and college preparatory studies. Sterling High School offers choir, band, and interscholastic competition in girls softball, football, volleyball, cross country, girls and boys soccer, girls and boys basketball, girls and boys wrestling, girls and boys golf, baseball, and track and field. Students in grades 9-12 may also enroll concurrently at Northeastern Junior College for dual high school and college credit.
Caliche Junior/Senior High School houses grades 7-12 and offers a comprehensive secondary course of study including vocational programs and college preparatory studies. Caliche Junior/Senior High School offers choir, band, and interscholastic competition in football, volleyball, girls and boys basketball, baseball, and track and field. Students in grades 9-12 may also enroll concurrently at Northeastern Junior College for dual high school and college credit.
Online educational opportunities for students in grades 6-12 are available through the SIXTWELVE ONLINE program offered at both Sterling Middle School and Sterling High School.
Individual student needs are met in all schools through classroom adaptation and in very special programs gifted and talented (GT) students, limited English Proficiency (ELL) students and students with a handicapping condition through Special Education.
Beginning with the 2024-25 school year, each of our schools will have a SmartLab, providing a comprehensive K-12 project-based learning solutions program with a strong STEM focus. This great new addition to the curriculum for each of our schools will help prepare all of our students for careers that may not even currently exist. Please learn more about this exciting new concept by clicking here: SmartLab Learning.
The District's patrons are fortunate enough to have a dedicated and caring staff that provides aggressive instructional programs, cares for the facilities, prepares breakfasts and lunches, transports students to school and events, and administers the affairs of the schools.
The Board of Education, Teachers, Administration and Staff are all extremely thankful for the hundreds of friends of the Re-1 Valley School District for their continued support in making our school district as successful as possible.
I hope everyone has a great 2024-25 school year.
