The Debs School, at 2783 McManus Rd. in Hinsdale County, Colorado (near Pagosa Springs in Archuleta County), is a historic rural schoolhouse that was built in 1926. It has also been known as Upper Piedra School, 5HN642, and the Debs Community Building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.^[1]

It is Hinsdale County's only surviving one-room schoolhouse. It was deemed significant for its architecture: its exterior walls are built of rock face ornamental concrete blocks, one of three identified schools in the state using that construction. It was named for popular progressive Eugene Debs. It served as a school from 1926-1951; it also served as a meeting hall.^[2]
