WHAT DOES A DPS COUNSELOR DO?
In DPS, school counselors are licensed professional counselors who support students throughout their educational experience and advocate for inclusivity, access, and equity. Our counselors primarily support students in 3 key areas in order to maximize student success: Social and Emotional Health, Academic Success, and College and Career planning.
Counselors are your partners in student success. Connect with a school counselor to discuss your child’s well-being, academics, or future plans. Click the link to meet your counselors.

Just three years ago, Denver’s City Council designated the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples Day in the city. In honor of that recognition and celebration of the area’s original inhabitants, #IAMDENVER talked with several members of Denver’s Indian community about what it means to be Native in Denver.
“Many Native Americans have been here in Colorado for hundreds and hundreds of years before Colorado was even a state,” says Early Dawn Roy, who attended the 30th Annual Friendship Powwow at the Denver Art Museum last month.
The stories here represent a variety of individual experiences of Native Americans in Denver, from art and cultural pride to education and relocation and so much more. Click the link to read more.

You MUST fill out this form so that we are able to prepare accordingly for our scholars to make sure we have what we need on hand for all scholars to be successful.
