The Arickaree School district
is named after the Arickaree River which runs through Southern Washington County. The school mascot is the Arikra Indian,
after the tribe that once lived in the area. School colors are green,
white, and gold.
The school district was formed from several small districts in the Consolidation Act of 1960. It includes the unincorporated
towns of Cope and Anton and the rural settlements of Denova, Harrisburg, Willadel, Thurman, and Arickaree. The school
district covers 638 square miles in the southeastern part of Washington County on the eastern center plains of Coloardo.
U.S. Highway 36, Colorado Highways 61 and 63 are the major highways that run through the district. The countryside supports
ranching, wheat and corn farming, and some gas and oil activities. The area is "high prairie" with fertile
farm ground and rolling sand hills. The area is abundant with wildlife, deer, pheasant, and antelope. There
are approximately 3-5 people per square mile within the school district. Send Arickaree School an E-Mail!
