Lewis-Palmer School District 38'S Career & Innovation Center opened for the '25-26 school year at 1200 Synthes Avenue in Monument! Programs at the facility provide relevant, work-based learning opportunities for secondary students and hands-on experiences that connects learning to high-demand careers.

Community input has played an integral part in the project since the concept was first introduced, and it will continue to be integral to the success of the program into the future. See our FAQ below for more information.

“The resounding comment I hear from the community and staff is, ‘I wish I would have had this when I was in school’.”
