Dakota Ridge High School

Dakota Ridge Senior High School is a public school located in Dakota Ridge, Colorado, United States. It is part of the Jefferson County Public Schools system.

Dakota Ridge High School opened on August 20, 1996. It is named after the nearby Dakota Hogback. The school was built to ease the burden on Chatfield High School, which had so many students that it began a split schedule to accommodate all of the students. The first class graduated in the spring of 1998.

Dakota Ridge operates as a closed campus for freshmen and an open campus for sophomores, juniors, and seniors.

It sits atop a hill on Coal Mine Avenue, overlooking The Meadows Golf Course to the south.

A new wing was added roughly ten years after its original opening. In 2020, Warren Tech, Jefferson County's career and technical education program, announced the plan to build a southern campus on the school's property. It opened in 2021.

Areas within the school's attendance zone include: Ken Caryl CDP

The school's athletic teams, known as the Dakota Ridge Eagles, compete in CHSAA class 5A in the Jefferson County League. Teams are fielded in baseball, basketball, marching band, cheerleading, cross country, football, golf, ice hockey, lacrosse, poms, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track and field, volleyball, and wrestling.

The 1996 football team became the first in Jefferson County history to win its inaugural Jeffco League game.
