School Overview
Primero Junior-Senior High School is a small, rural public school located in Weston, Colorado, situated along State Highway 12. As part of the Primero School District Re-2, the school serves a tight-knit community in Las Animas County. Its unique structure combines junior high and high school students into a single facility, fostering a close environment where students often benefit from smaller class sizes and more personalized instruction from faculty.

The school is deeply integrated into the local landscape, often serving as a central hub for the small unincorporated community of Weston. Because of its remote setting, the school places a strong emphasis on community engagement and provides essential academic and extracurricular opportunities for students who might otherwise be isolated by geography.
