Superintendent Dr. Jackie Kapushion delivered a comprehensive update on St. Vrain Valley Schools, highlighting its growth to 33,000 students, 60 schools, and over 70 specialized focus programs.
She emphasized public education as a critical engine for social mobility and local economic vitality, noting that district operations inject hundreds of millions of dollars into the local economy through purchases, wages, and taxpayer-funded construction. St. Vrain boasts a 96.8% graduation rate—the highest in the Denver metro area—and outperforms state and national academic averages. Moving forward, the district continues to manage regional enrollment growth by constructing new facilities, consolidating underutilized schools, and thoughtfully integrating artificial intelligence into administrative operations and classroom instruction, as appropriate upon understanding the impacts.
