Strasburg High School

What Strasburg High School does

Strasburg School District 31J is a small rural K-12 public school district located approximately 30 miles east of Metro Denver along the I-70 Corridor in Colorado, serving students and families across central Arapahoe and Adams counties. The district operates four campuses — Strasburg Elementary School (K-5), Hemphill Middle School (6-8), Strasburg High School (9-12), and Prairie Creeks High School — and employs roughly 165 staff members across instructional, operational, and administrative functions. It is governed by an elected Board of Education (currently chaired by President Michael Marrero) with Kelle Bongard serving as Superintendent.

The district's core product is comprehensive K-12 academic instruction, augmented by athletics programs operating under the Strasburg Indians 'TRIBE READY' brand, a broad catalog of student activities and clubs (FBLA, HOSA, Knowledge Bowl, Speech and Debate, ESports, Diversity Club, etc.), food services, technology support, gifted and talented programming delivered in partnership with East Central BOCES, social-emotional and mental health support, and state-mandated assessment coordination (CMAS, PSAT/SAT, ACCESS for ELLs). Technology delivery relies on a stack of third-party platforms rather than proprietary systems: Finalsite for the district website, PowerSchool for student information, Schoology for learning management, Clever for single sign-on, PaySchools for meal payments, ArbiterSports for athletic registration, GoFMX for maintenance and facility requests, and Varsity Tutors for supplemental instruction.

As a state-chartered government entity, the district's revenue model is overwhelmingly tax-funded: state per-pupil revenue forms the primary stream, supplemented by local property taxes (including mill levy overrides) and federal grants. Minor transactional revenue is generated from adult/guest meals ($2.50 breakfast, $5.00 lunch), ala carte items sold to high school students, and athletic registration fees. For the 2026-27 school year, all K-12 students receive free meals through the voter-approved Colorado Healthy School Meals for All program. The district does not disclose operating budgets in formats comparable to private-company revenue reporting.

Direct peers

• Bennett School District 29J: Adjacent small rural Colorado K-12 district serving a similar commuter community along the I-70 corridor east of Denver. Operates PreK-12 with comparable scale, funding model, and student demographics, making it the closest comparable to Strasburg 31J.
• Byers School District 32J: Neighboring small rural Colorado district in Adams/Arapahoe counties with similar enrollment profile and state funding dependence. Operates a K-12 school with comparable athletics and extracurricular offerings, providing a directly comparable go-to-market model.
• Elizabeth School District C-1: Nearby Colorado rural-fringe district experiencing similar growth pressure and commuter-driven demographics. Operates multiple K-12 schools with athletics and CTE programs aligned to Strasburg's offerings, serving as a directly comparable scale benchmark.
• Kiowa School District C-2: Small rural Colorado K-12 district in Elbert County with similar enrollment size and state funding economics. Provides a tight demographic and operational peer for evaluating rural district performance and funding dynamics.
• Deer Trail School District 26J: Very small rural K-12 district east of Strasburg on the plains. Comparable in small-school economy, state funding reliance, and community-driven identity, with similar challenge of retaining families against larger metro options.

Broad incumbents

• Douglas County School District Re. 1: Larger, well-resourced suburban Colorado district adjacent to the Strasburg area. Competes for the same commuter families on the I-70 corridor and offers a much broader K-12 program portfolio, making it the primary competitive alternative for in-migrating families.
• Cherry Creek School District 5: Large suburban Denver-area district with extensive K-12 programming, athletics, and college-prep offerings. Represents a broader incumbent option families might choose over Strasburg for perceived academic depth and extracurricular breadth.
• Denver Public Schools: Large urban Colorado district operating dozens of K-12 schools. Not a direct competitor for rural Strasburg families but provides the broad regional benchmark for academic outcomes, programming depth, and district-scale operations.

Regional players

• Aurora Public Schools: Urban Colorado district serving a similar demographic footprint on the eastern side of the Denver metro. While geographically oriented around Aurora rather than the rural I-70 corridor, it competes for the same regional student population and operates comparable K-12 programs.

Others

• East Central BOCES (ECBOCES): Regional educational service cooperative providing shared programs such as Gifted and Talented services to Strasburg and other member districts. Functions as a partner/enabler rather than competitor, but its program depth materially shapes Strasburg's K-12 offering.
