Cripple Creek-Victor School District RE-1 is located southwest of Colorado Springs in beautiful southern Teller County. The District has a total enrollment of approximately 450 students in preschool through twelfth grade. Cresson Elementary School offers grades PK-6 as well as Head Start. The District also sponsors a home-based Early Head Start Program. Cripple Creek-Victor Junior/Senior High School houses grades 7-12. Our Mountain Alternative School Program, located across the street from the secondary building, provides programming for high school students who need an alternative setting.

Children who are 3 to 5 years old are eligible for Head Start services. Pregnant women and children from birth to 3 years of age are eligible for Early Head Start services. Children and families who are homeless, in foster care, or receive TANF or SSI are also eligible for services. Eligibility is determined by Head Start program staff and some families may be eligible for services if they are determined to be at or below the federal poverty level. Some grantees enroll a percentage of children from families with incomes above the Poverty Guidelines as well.

Families are encouraged to apply.
