Overview
Between 1993 and 2005, students were required to follow a daily schedule of 6 periods. Beginning in the 2006-07 school year, Durango switched to a block schedule, which consisted of 8 classes with 1, 3, 5 and 7 meeting on an "A" day and 2, 4, 6 and 8 meeting on a "B" day. From the 2009-10 school year,[2] all schools in Clark County have switched back to the former 6 period schedule. This did not include seniors, who only have 4 classes.
In the 2000-2001 school year, Durango had the largest number of students in its history with some 3,647 students. The number of openings of other schools and rezonings to alternative schools removed the strain and high student enrollment. By the 2005-2006 school year, Durango enrolled 2,243 students.
Annually, the school broadcast an episode of Z-Man & Z-Boy on Durango High's television station, ZTV. The last episode was in 2012
