Commerce City Schools

In order to construct the new weight room, locker rooms, coaches’ offices, and multi-purpose room, our construction team had to temporarily remove the vinyl wrapping along with the historic green Tiger Eyes. The old structure will be relocated to the opposite end of the stadium in the coming weeks and will be operational by the first home soccer game. The new building will also feature green Tiger Eyes as part of its design. We are excited about the progress being made in our school system to provide our students with exceptional facilities both inside and outside our buildings, as well as with the construction of new facilities. As we continue to build upon the foundation laid by the past for our students, teachers, and community, I ask for your patience throughout this process. If anyone in our community has a question, comment, or would like to set up a meeting, I will be glad to discuss the incredible things happening for our kids. Please let me know how I can serve you.

Commerce City Schools came together tonight to celebrate our amazing adaptive classes throughout our district. The evening was filled with recognitions, holiday cheer, gifts, and a special visit from Santa himself, creating memories to last a lifetime. It was truly a night to honor and celebrate our incredible students and the bright spirit they bring to our school system every day. A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated teachers, staff members, supportive families, sponsors, and the entire community for coming together to make this event so special. Your love and commitment to our students is what makes nights like this possible.

Today, members of our primary and elementary leadership team visited the brand-new Franklin County Elementary School! This incredible facility was designed and built by the same team of architects and construction experts who will be building our new Commerce Elementary School. Set to open in August 2027, our new school will be a state-of-the-art learning environment for our students. Touring Franklin County Elementary gave us valuable ideas and inspiration to ensure our school meets the needs of our community for years to come. Exciting things are on the horizon for Commerce City Schools!

Last night, CHS hosted the 2nd Annual Commerce Duals. Our Tigers battled hard to finish 4th in a tough competition against some of the best teams in the state.

Commerce men’s basketball had a historic day, with both the varsity and JV teams defeating Jefferson. It’s been over 10 years since the two schools last played, and the Tigers came out on top in both matchups. A huge win for Commerce basketball!
