Lookout Mountain

High School 5th - 12th

School Overview

The facility located at 2901 Ford Street in Golden, Colorado, is known as the **Lookout Mountain Youth Services Center (LMYSC)**. Operated by the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS), it functions as a secure, high-acuity residential treatment and correctional facility for male youth who have been adjudicated or are in the custody of the Division of Youth Services.

The center’s primary focus is on rehabilitation, education, and behavioral health. The campus operates an on-site educational program designed to provide academic instruction, vocational training, and credit recovery for residents who are often working toward a high school diploma or GED. Beyond academics, the facility implements a "trauma-informed" model of care, offering clinical mental health services, counseling, and structured programming intended to reduce recidivism and help youth successfully transition back into their communities.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
