Welcome to the Dolores School District RE-4A website. We are a high achieving school district located in Dolores, Colorado. Our 735 students come from diverse backgrounds. Many students live in the rural areas surrounding the town of Dolores. Our students excel at reading. We offer direct instruction of the arts and physical education to all grade levels. Our students successfully compete in numerous sports as well as academic competitions. Our parents are very supportive of the schools, and the schools serve as a cornerstone of the community.

Our schools are dedicated to the success of every student. We offer a variety of programs at the secondary level, including vocational certificates and up to 21 hours of college credit may earned while in high school. While we value and focus on academics, we also stress character education and community service. Many of our staff grew up here and have returned to Dolores to work and teach in our district.

We invite you to contact us for any reason. You may contact the superintendent at mmachale@dolores.k12.co.us or phone our district office at 970-882-7255.
