⏰ Save the date- Friday evening! ⏰ Join us for a sneak peek and tour of the new Durango Big Picture High School building (281 Sawyer Drive, Suite 300) on Friday, May 8, from 5-6 p.m. This event is specifically for families and students interested in enrolling for the 2026-27 school year. Visitors can take a self-guided tour of the facility, connect with Principal Samantha Tower, and meet student representatives.

While this preview is for prospective students, the general public will be invited to a fall Grand Opening and Ribbon-Cutting event, currently planned for Tuesday, Sept. 15.

The renovation project was made possible through community support of the 2024 Investing in Our Schools Bond, and DSD staff members will move into the permanent facility in August. For more information, visit the Durango Big Picture website or call (970) 259-0203.
