Black History in the Denver Metro Area
The journey of Black History and the history of minoritized and marginalized groups, individuals and communities cannot be lost as time goes by. The era of greatness and contribution continues. Although some will consider Black History, just that - history, DSST pushes against that ideology and narrative. Instead, we continue to spotlight Black pioneers in the Denver Metro Area, of the past and present, to help our community recognize and value the history within our own backyard. Black history is not relegated to the southern states nor the east coast. Black history’s presence and contribution stretches from “sea to shining sea” and most definitely within the “purple mountain’s majesty”. Here are examples of Black History in the Denver Metro Area showcasing entrepreneurship, STEM, education, sports, politics, arts and entertainment.

SchoolChoice Season Highlights
Every January, students and families have the opportunity to select the school they’d like to attend the following year by participating in SchoolChoice. Run by DPS, this system helps empower families to select the best school for their student- not just the one that is closest in proximity. Choice helps ensure that a student’s academic opportunities aren’t solely determined by their zip code. Families choose their top 12 schools, and after a lottery in early Spring, they learn which schools they have a spot in for the following year.
