History
Beginner
The first school in Jefferson County and the second school in Colorado opened in Golden on 9 January 1860. It was about 1304 Washington Avenue and was a rented log cabin, with a school taught by Thomas Daughterty, with 18 students, financed through tuition and subscription. The second term is taught by Miss M. F. Manly. When Jefferson County was organized by the Territorial government in 1861, the ability to organize public schools became a reality, and George West became the first supervisor of the Jefferson County schools. After the factory milling was made in 1862, the first two school districts, Golden and Vasquez (approximately Wheat Ridge/Arvada area today), were held in 1863. In September it was the first public school in the area opened in Golden.
Original school district
Over time, as the population grew and spread throughout the region, more and more school districts were organized, each with its own elected council to govern them. They are a diverse range of schools, ranging from magnificent brick buildings in the Golden town operated through traditional school years, to the rustic wood-school schools that operate during the summer months because the winter in the mountains keeps the students difficult to attend. Some school districts only rent buildings for classes; others share to neighboring countries. The first building was built as a Jefferson County public school, around the 14th area and Arapahoe Streets in Golden, never completed and eventually sold in 1866 to the Colorado Territorial Governor Alexander Cummings for $ 2,700 for use as Territorial Executive Building. His successor, the first complete public school building in Jefferson County, still stands today at 1420 Washington Avenue in Golden. After the completion of his successor at 1314 Cheyenne Street in 1873, later known as South School, Jefferson County junior high school, Golden High School, was held. The first public school graduate in Jefferson County was held in the 1880s.
In 1894 Jefferson County school enrollment was about 1,500 students, with 54 high school students. By 1939 Jeffco had grown to 3,883 students with 1,426 primary high schools. However, at the beginning of the 20th century, population shifts and other factors began to spur consolidation. Jefferson County School District Lorraine joined the Boulder County School of Bailer School (Broomfield) in 1917. In 1920 Montana, Lakeview, Midway and Mt. The carbon district merges into Bear Creek District C-1. In 1923 several mountain districts joined the Evergreen District C-2, while in 1945 Washington Heights and Bancroft merged to form School District 52. However, several school districts went to the side of the road including South Platte in 1944, Pleasant Park in 1946, and Pine Grove.. In 1950 only 39 of the 54 individually organized remaining school districts were left.

Unification and the modern era
In 1950, 39 school districts in Jefferson County were consolidated and reorganized into one district, Jefferson County R-1 Schools. It was so named as the District Reorganization School 1, and ushered in modern times in areas where some were still sent to school in the original one-room rural schools. Over time, several well-known school buildings have been built in Jefferson County, including the North, South, Central, and Top Golden schools; Morrison stone school; and the Lakewood 3 college campus. With new energy, a new generation will be built, and sophisticated schools flourish throughout Jefferson County when old schools are removed. In 1999 Jefferson County registered 88,793 students.
Today the next school building wave is being made, as the Jefferson County schools move forward into the 21st century. However, a good collection of schools from all over Jeffco's education history remains. They serve many uses from private homes to museums, and some are designated as landmarks of Jefferson County, Colorado and the National Historic Register.
Through the history of Jeffco school, there are some tragic events that have not been forgotten. In 1887, the original Sheep School, which had just been built the year before, was burned and must be replaced. (The rebuilt school was later destroyed by the Lower North Fork Fire in 2012.) In 1905 Golden's South School, including Golden High School, was rescued from an explosion by janitor Oscar Nolin when his boiler was hot just minutes from the possibility of claiming more than 100 lives. In 1916 the original Fruitdale School was burned when his disciples marched to safety. In 1919 attempts to burn South Schools were made by frantic parents to keep the school from reopening after the Great Flu Epidemic, but the fire restrained itself. In 1938, the newly built Buffalo Creek School caught fire while the school was in session from an overheated stove, and teacher Wilma Barnes managed to get 15 students to survive. On April 7, 1982, Scott Darwin Michael was shot and killed by his classmate Jason Rocha at Deer Creek Middle School.
Most notable was the Columbine High School massacre in 1999, when two students killed 12 students and a teacher. However, the teacher, Dave Sanders, proves another hero, has helped many students to survive before losing his own life.
On February 23, 2010, eighth grader Reagan Webber and Matt Thieu were shot and wounded at Deer Creek Middle School. The incident ended when mathematics teacher David Benke handled the perpetrator, Bruco Eastwood.
In September 2014, students and teachers in schools around the district protested the conservative ideology of the school board, which had proposed reviewing the APUSH curriculum set by the College Board, to focus historical education on citizenship and patriotism, while condemning civil disobedience and strike actions.
Environmental Considerations
Many Jefferson County schools utilize wetlands built to manage rainwater and contribute to the health of local watersheds. The wetland project at Oberon Middle School has been praised by the National Resources Defense Council to establish "an example for local governments seeking new ways to manage stormwater in urban areas with some added value.
Literary title
Oberon Middle School is the setting for the Define "Normal" Define novel by Julie Anne Peters.
