District 8 -
FOUNTAIN & FORT
CARSON
Our Mission is to develop generations of world-class learners
capable of being successful members of society by providing a
positive, empowering and safe environment where academic
excellence is the desired result for all students.
The city of Fountain is located approximately seven miles south
of Colorado Springs off highways 85/87 and I-25. The nearly
18,000 residents of the city are very supportive of the school
district. Recently, the voters passed a Tabor override to allow
the city and school district to receive and allocate funds over
the Tabor limit.
Fountain-Fort Carson School District Eight spans 150 square
miles -- a district that includes the city of Fountain, Fort
Carson Military Installation, Rock Creek township, and the rural
areas surrounding these locations.
Fountain-Fort Carson School District Eight includes six
elementary schools with three schools in the city of Fountain
(Aragon Elementary, Jordahl Elementary, and Mesa Elementary) and
three schools on the Fort Carson installation (Abrams
Elementary, Beacon Primary, and Mountainside Elementary). The
district's two middle schools, Fountain Middle School and Carson
Middle School, are located in the city of Fountain and at Fort
Carson, respectively. Two high schools, Fountain-Fort Carson
High School and Lorraine Alternative High School, are located in
the city of Fountain.
