Ellicott School District #22

What Ellicott School District #22 does

Ellicott School District #22 is a public K-12 school district and political subdivision of the State of Colorado, headquartered at 322 South Ellicott Highway in Calhan, Colorado. It operates four educational institutions serving the local community: Ellicott Preschool, Ellicott Elementary School (K-5, approximately 400+ students), Ellicott Middle School (grades 6-8), and Ellicott High School (grades 9-12). The district employs approximately 70 staff members and is governed by an elected Board of Education, with day-to-day administration led by a Superintendent.

The district's core product is comprehensive public K-12 education delivered through five physical facilities and supplemented by specialized programs including a Gifted & Talented Program, Food Services with free/reduced meal programs, a broad athletics and extracurricular offering (football, volleyball, flag football, cheerleading, E-Sports, music, clubs), and student support services covering counseling, mental health, health services, transportation, and library/media centers. Technology infrastructure is built entirely on standard, third-party SaaS platforms — Infinite Campus for student information, Google Classroom for learning management, Finalsite for the district website, Arbiter Sports for athletics management, EZMealApp for meal applications, Freshdesk for support ticketing, and Applitrack for recruitment. The district holds Purple Star School designation for military family support, reflecting its proximity to Schriever Space Force Base and its deliberate integration with base events and Military Family Life Counselor resources.

Revenue is generated not through tuition but through a combination of Colorado state per-pupil funding, local property taxes, and federal sources including Federal Impact Aid. Ancillary revenue streams include a $20.00 per-athlete sports physical clinic, athletic participation fees, and cafeteria sales under federal meal programs. The district is differentiated by its small-community "Thunderhawk" identity, its military-family ecosystem, and its capacity to offer the breadth of programming typical of larger districts in a rural setting.
