I am a parent and have been for the past 15 years of the Gilpin County School here in Black Hawk. The progress that has been made in the past 7 years or so is absolutely incredible.

I am very pleased with almost every aspect of our school and look forward to watching my daughter grow and learn right here at Gilpin for the next 5 years. Close Quote
