Clear Creek School District (CCSD) is located in Clear Creek County, Colorado, a short drive west of Denver and area suburbs. Clear Creek serves the mountain communities of Idaho Springs, Georgetown, Empire, Dumont, Silver Plume, and parts of Evergreen. Our county is well-suited for outdoor adventure. Our historic downtowns offer some of the best places to explore and discover. Our community values supporting students and schools, which has resulted in recent increases to compensation and facility improvements.

We believe that students are more than test scores, and learning experiences are opportunities for creativity. Clear Creek School District is dedicated to attracting and retaining high-quality educators. This means you'll be warmly welcomed into our team of professionals, provided opportunities to learn and grow with us, and be challenged to be your very best for students.
