Fountain-Ft. Carson School District #8

Located seven miles southwest of Colorado Springs, Fountain-Ft. Carson School District #8 encompasses the City of Fountain, Fort Carson, Rock Creek and nearby rural areas. The district offers innovative educational opportunities for all students. Early childhood education, special education, gifted and talented services and technological education supplement the regular education curriculum. District # 8 supports strong relationships with the University of Colorado, Pikes Peak Community College, and Fort Carson.

District enrollment exceeds 4,800 students representing families from all fifty states and from other countries. Our multicultural population is enriched with full-time students in the curricular areas of visual art, instrumental and vocal music, physical education and counseling and guidance services for preschool through twelfth grades. Children in preschool through fifth grade attend the district's six elementary schools, grades six through eight are housed in two middle schools and grades nine through twelve make up the high school. An Alternative High School serves students between the ages of fifteen and twenty-one years.

District #8 proudly offers preschool and Headstart programs for three and four year old children. Child care services for infants and school-age children from the ages of six weeks to twelve years are available to students, staff and the community of Fountain and Fort Carson.

The communities of Fountain Valley and Fort Carson and the students and staff of District #8 benefit from the district sports complex. This unique facility features a football stadium, all weather track, baseball field, soccer fields, tennis courts, a lighted softball field and an indoor swimming pool. A new high school will open on this site in the fall of 1999.
