- Pride School District 11 (Mesa County, Colorado)
- A school district administering the Pride School near Whitewater, and the Summit and Gateway Schools in Unaweep Canyon. John Geiger was on the board of the district for many years, and his daughter relates that since funding for schools was tied to a tax on railways, the Unaweep schools were included in the same district as the Pride School, because the Pride School was the only one close to a railway line. The schools in the Pride District also doubled as community centers, and housed church services, dances, Christmas parties, elections and picnics. Schools were often insured as dance halls, because if a school burned within 24 hours of a dance, the insurance company would not cover the replacement cost. The Pride District was absorbed into Mesa County School District 51 in 1951.
