Cripple Creek-Victor School District RE-1 is located southwest of Colorado Springs in beautiful southern Teller County. The District has a total enrollment of approximately 450 students in preschool through twelfth grade. Cresson Elementary School offers grades PK-6 as well as Head Start. The District also sponsors a home-based Early Head Start Program. Cripple Creek-Victor Junior/Senior High School houses grades 7-12. Our Mountain Alternative School Program, located across the street from the secondary building, provides programming for high school students who need an alternative setting.
The district’s mission is “Achieving Excellence One Student at a Time.” Our highly qualified staff, a board of education which is committed to providing quality education, our small class sizes, and our focus on the success of each of our students continually produce strong student relationships, our ever rising academic achievement and growth, prepared students for the 21st century, and solid community and parent partnerships.
