PUEBLO YOUTH SERVICE CENTER

PUEBLO YOUTH SERVICE CENTER is a public school that is part of the Pueblo School District No. 60 in the county of Pueblo and school district, located in PUEBLO, CO with about 24 students offering grade levels from 4th Grade to 12th Grade.

The **PUEBLO YOUTH SERVICE CENTER**, located at 1406 West 17th Street in Pueblo, Colorado, is a specialized facility that operates under the umbrella of the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS), specifically the Division of Youth Services (DYS). Unlike a traditional academic school, this facility functions as a secure detention and treatment center for youth who are involved in the juvenile justice system. The center is designed to provide a secure environment where staff prioritize safety, security, and the stabilization of youth awaiting court appearances or serving sentences.

Beyond its role as a detention center, the facility integrates educational programming as a mandatory component of its daily operations. The school component is typically operated in partnership with local school districts or state-mandated educational providers to ensure that students maintain academic progress despite their confinement. The curriculum is often individualized to meet the specific needs of each student, emphasizing credit recovery, GED preparation, and basic skill development, all while operating within the structured, rehabilitative framework necessary for the facility’s secure setting.
