At the start of the 2023-2024 school year, Special Olympics Colorado and Colorado Springs School District 11 partnered to bring inclusivity to high school sports with the Unified Sports Program. The program connects students with intellectual disabilities and student-athletes in bowling, basketball and track, with the intent of expanding in the coming years. As the first showcase district for Special Olympics Colorado, D11 is committed to empowering all students through an inclusive educational experience.
