The Poudre School District Board of Education and Superintendent Brian Kingsley proudly announce the commencement ceremonies for the PSD Class of 2025.
This year marks an important milestone for PSD, as we welcome the first graduating classes of Timnath Middle-High School and Wellington Middle-High School. Both schools opened with grades 6-10 in August 2022 and expanded to have grades 6-11 last year and grades 6-12 this school year.
Amid the holiday lights and decorations at Foothills Mall this December, visitors were greeted by tables filled with projects and eager students ready to share their work at the Poudre School District Career Tech Center Exhibition of Learning.
At 13 or 14 years old, it can feel like graduation is light years away, but the journey toward the future starts now in Poudre School District.
The second annual Eighth Grade Career Fair, held at Colorado State University, is more than just a field trip—it is a first step in helping students explore their passions, discover careers, and understand all the possibilities that await them after high school graduation.

Congratulations to Poudre School District students who earned Advanced Placement scholar awards!
A total of 438 PSD students received awards based on their national AP test results at the end of the 2023-24 school year. The highest possible score on exams for these college-level courses is a five.
Students who earn scores of three, four or five on AP exams may receive credit from college or universities, saving hundreds or thousands of dollars in post-secondary tuition costs.
In July 2024, 192,867 students worldwide received their Diploma Programme (DP) and Career-related Programme (CP) results from the May 2024 examination session.
Poudre High School had an 80% pass rate with 70 students testing, and 56 students earning their full IB diploma this past school year. Earning an IB Diploma guarantees a minimum of 24 elective credit hours at many universities and translates to a savings of $5,000 to $12,000 in college tuition.

Dear PSD community:
I’m writing today to celebrate the recent release of 2024 state standardized testing results. Once again, PSD cemented its reputation as a high-achieving district by besting the state average not just by a small percentage but by double-digits in all grades and subject areas covered by CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success), PSAT, and SAT testing.
This achievement happens so often in our district, it may not have caught your attention. But it is truly amazing and worth celebrating year after year.
Poudre School District is one of Colorado’s top 10 districts for math performance and top 15 districts for English Language Arts performance, according to 2024 Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) testing.
The Colorado Department of Education publicly released CMAS results for 167 Colorado school districts and boards of cooperative educational services on Aug. 29.
