Pueblo County School District 70 (D70) is a school district headquartered in unincorporated Pueblo County, Colorado, near Pueblo.[2]

The district includes the municipalities of Boone and Rye, as well as the census-designated places of Avondale, Beulah Valley, Colorado City, Pueblo West, and Vineland. It also includes most of the Blende CDP and small portions of the municipality of Pueblo.[3]

History

The school district was created in 1950 after 33 school districts consolidated into one.[4] The former Pleasant View High School became the D70 headquarters and, as of 2000, remained as such.[5]
