Denver Public Schools: Volunteer Service

Striving for Excellence: Supporting Brighter Futures for All Students

At Denver Public Schools, we’re focused on building a system that’s designed to help every student thrive. We’re re-focusing our efforts where they matter most: on creating classrooms that are vibrant centers of learning, where caring teachers are engaging their students in rigorous, culturally responsive experiences in order to lift all students toward a bright horizon.

In the last ten years, Denver Public Schools has experienced unprecedented growth and an expansion of programs. 

Building on the strong progress we’ve made, we want to continue transforming Denver Public Schools into a school district grounded in equity. This districtwide focus on equity will be embedded in everything we do, so that we can help break historical patterns and become a school district that is designed to inspire every student to dream big and make their own future.

DPS Mission: Educational equity is our collective responsibility. We prepare students for career, college and life. We create conditions and partnerships where students, families and team members belong and thrive.
