Welcome to Fremont RE-2 School District

We Are ONE — One Team. One Mission. One Future.

Three District Schools

Located in beautiful southern Colorado, Fremont RE-2 School District proudly serves the communities of Florence, Penrose, Williamsburg, Rockvale, Coal Creek, and Wetmore.

As a small, rural school district, we take pride in our close-knit communities, dedicated educators, and commitment to providing meaningful educational opportunities for every student.

Our district includes three schools: Fremont Elementary School and Penrose Elementary School, serving students in preschool through sixth grade, and Florence Junior/Senior High School, serving students in grades 7–12.

At Fremont RE-2, we believe our greatest strength is our people. From our classrooms and school buildings to our families and community partners, we work together to create an environment where students feel supported, challenged, and inspired to succeed.

Vision

Growing a Destination District with Intent, Purpose and Pride.

Our vision reflects our commitment to continuous improvement, meaningful relationships, and creating a school district where students want to learn, families want to belong, and employees are proud to work.

We are intentional in our decisions, purposeful in our work, and proud of the communities we serve.

Together, we are building a stronger future for Fremont RE-2.

Six Communities. One District.

Fremont RE-2 is nestled in the Arkansas River Valley, surrounded by the natural beauty, history, and agricultural traditions of southern Colorado.

Our communities offer the charm of small-town living, with convenient access to Cañon City, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, and the many outdoor recreational opportunities that make this region special.

From Florence's historic downtown to Penrose's agricultural roots and the ranching traditions of Wetmore, each community brings its own unique character to our district.

We are proud of our history, our strong community connections, and the generations of families who have helped shape Fremont RE-2.
