Special Education

The Student Support Services Department celebrates the talents and unique abilities of all students. For students with identified educational challenges, we provide services to enable and empower them to be successful in educational and extra-curricular activities that are available to all students, to prepare them for success beyond high school in post-secondary pursuits, and ultimately, to profoundly impact our world.

Since 2014, Mitchell High School has been a leader in Colorado Springs School District 11, in the state, and even across the country in advocating for the student’s voice to be primary in the development of educational planning and services. All students who have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) at Mitchell High School are supported in developing and leading their own IEP meetings. One of our former students created a documentary describing her experience and encouraging others to follow in her footsteps. See her story here.
