Pueblo, CO Public Schools

Pueblo City Schools (District 60)
Pueblo’s first school building was a one-room adobe hut built near the Fountain River around 1862. As the population grew, additional buildings and teachers were added. In 1866 “School District One” served what was then the north side of town. In the summer of 1873, “District Twenty” was organized. Additionally, the small districts 22, 43, and 45 existed briefly, but were quickly absorbed into the larger two districts.
Pueblo School Districts One and Twenty were consolidated into Pueblo School “District 60” in 1946. In 2006 the district underwent a name change when it became “Pueblo City Schools.” The district now enrolls more than 18,000 students.
