Read just a few of the millions of reasons people love working in DPS:

"I was hired in October and have found nothing but the most dedicated and motivated professionals working together for the best possible outcomes for students. Everyone is supportive and responsive in DPS, from payroll questions and paperwork inquiries to curriculum training and classroom support. It is always challenging to jump in after the start of the year, but everyone at DPS has made me feel welcomed, appreciated, and supported at every level. District level trainings and support have been superb and everyone is passionate and dedicated. How refreshing!" — Susan, Elementary Teacher


"I love DPS. I have taught in the district for 35 years – 25 at TJ. My sons were educated in DPS and received an excellent education. My youngest, Ramón, graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy in 2005 and his DPS education was second to none in the world, as is stated in admittance and graduation from the Academy." — Rose, High School Teacher


"The Denver Prep league is an invaluable program. It is always a postive when students can participate in athletic activities. I have siblings, nieces, nephews, daughters and sons who have benefited from DPS sports.

Exercise is essential to good health and what better way to exercise than through sport! Life isn't always easy, and sports is another way student-athletes can learn to accept challenges and defeat. Grades are important to succeed in school and sports is another way to reinforce academics." — Tammy, ECE Teacher


"I started working in DPS in 1978 and was one of the first females hired on to the custodial staff. Every day I say ‘I love my job!'”

The challenge, environment, and diversity that DPS has to offer keep the job a new adventure every day. Keeping the school functional so that the children can come and be safe and learn in a clean environment is the pride I take in my job every day.

I come from a large family – we are a total of 72 in our family today– and I have always told my staff to "Do the work as if it were your children coming to this school" — Veronica, Facility Manager
