What's at Stake in the DPS Superintendent Search
After less than two years on the job, Denver Public Schools superintendent Susana Cordova resigned last fall. She said it was because she got an amazing job opportunity in Dallas, Texas, but some think she was pushed out by a school board that disagreed with her vision. At the center of that conflict? Education Reform, a nationwide movement that found a fertile testing ground here in Denver about 15 years ago under then superintendent Michael Bennet (Yes, that Michael Bennet). So what is Education Reform? How did it get so controversial? And what does the board’s search for a new superintendent say about the future of the reform movement here in Denver?

Students Benefit from a Diverse Teaching Staff

When I say all students, that means not just Black and Brown students, but also Asian American students, white students, students with special needs, students who are second language learners, LGBTQIA students. All of them benefit from a diverse teaching staff.

Senior Signing Day Snapshots!
On Wednesday, May 19, the Class of 2021 celebrated both their hard work and the bright futures that lie ahead. While our seniors weren’t able to announce their post-high school plans at the Coliseum, they still found unique and meaningful ways to celebrate. At each school, there was a viewing party to watch a livestream that included student performances, a keynote speech from LGBTQ activist Brandon Wolf, and of course, the announcements of each senior on campus. Every school added their own flair to the festivities, from a dunk tank at GVR HS to a Senior Sunset at Cole HS. Below you’ll find just a few snapshots of this unforgettable day!
