Welcome to Mapleton Public Schools!

Teachers recognize and validate students' unique individual differences and students are encouraged to be leaders in their classroom and their community.
DISTRICT SCHOOL STATUS: All schools closed for summer break. For questions about enrollment contact the Welcome Center at 303.853.1780. For all other inquiries contact the Administration Building at 303.853.1000.
