ABOUT THE DISTRICT

Jeffco Public Schools, Colorado's largest K-12 school district, with 85,000 students and approximately 14,000 employees, has provided educational excellence for more than 60 years. Nearly 10 percent of all Colorado K-12 students attend a Jeffco school and our employees benefit from partnerships with experienced, dynamic school leaders throughout our district. Our Jeffco Generations vision document and strategic plan map out with focus and clarity what we expect our schools to accomplish with our graduates. Come join us!

ABOUT THE SCHOOL/DEPARTMENT

McLain Community High School is and alternative education campus that provides curriculum and instruction that supports the educational needs for non -traditional students. There are four learning communities within McLain: Three youth programs - ACE, Achieve Academy, and LIVE; and our adult program - CB. Each learning community offer a unique experience for students starting in 9th grade and into adulthood.

While McLain has a long history of supporting students who have been deficient in credits and have not completed their high school requirements for graduation, we have also created grade-level programs that meet the needs of students entering high school for the first time and those that are returning to high school after several years. We are very proud of all of our schools and programs and their ability to focus on the student socially and emotionally, as well as academically.

Environment and experiences are hallmarks of the McLain model. Our school provide environments that are smaller and more intimate, where students take classes with the same set of students and the same set of teachers each day. Class size is usually built on a smaller 20-1 student to teacher ratio. Weekly/bi-weekly experiences in the community allow students to learn about the world and about what they could aspire to in the future. Students take part in CTE pathway course work, community service, job exploration, cultural enrichment and outdoor activities.
