Limon Public Schools
Our Mission:
"Limon Public Schools strive to develop responsible and productive citizens who have the knowledge and skills to seize their chosen opportunities."
History :
The current elementary building was built in 1923. The first Limon High School (built as a three story building in 1912) was replaced by the current high school in 1962. Both schools have undergone significant changes since being built, including having their heating, ventilation, updated and air conditioning systems modernized during the summer of 2002.
1916 was the first graduating class and consisted of four students. That year there were 29 students in the high school (seven juniors, six sophomores, and twelve freshmen). Over the past four years, more than sixty percent of our graduating classes have received scholarships, including one student receiving the coveted Boettcher Scholarship and one student received a full academic scholarship to Harvard University. Thirteen Limon Public Schools teachers have also been recognized statewide for educational accomplishments.
The Limon Board of Education and staff have committed to striving toward being "The Power of the Plains" is evidenced by their commitment to listening to community members and education experts involved in the testing process who say that a combination of events make for a successful school experience; including a high percentage of math and science teachers with a bachelor’s or master’s degree in the subject they teach, professional development that is transferred into meaningful lessons and pinpointing what students should be learning.

That commitment to "POWER OF THE PLAINS”, has led Limon Public Schools to develop a number of programs designed to guide students to excellence. Among these are extremely strong content area curricula in math, English, science, social studies, and foreign language. Limon Public Schools is also well known for its technology, industrial arts, music, physical education and art programs.
Limon Public Schools history would not be complete without particular attention being paid to its athletic accomplishments. Limon’s teams have won the state championship 36 times. These teams have won the state championship 13 times in track, 14 times in football, four times in volleyball, and the boy’s basketball team has “brought home the gold” while the girl’s won back to back the 2002 and 2003 title.
