About
Poudre School District opened The Future Ready Center in September 2023 at the Foothills Mall in Fort Collins, 215 E Foothills pkwy suite 510 Fort Collins Co 80525. We are a resource center for all the programs happening across the district, a community hub and a centrally-located large-scale meeting space that is front-facing to the community in the city of Fort Collins. Students, families and community members, we encourage you to stop by Monday - Friday anytime between 8am - 5pm to learn about all the programs PSD has to offer. Students feel empowered knowing they have choices in high school that lead to meaningful options after graduation, whether 2-year college, 4-year college, apprenticeship, workforce, or military.
