Dear Team DPS...
Dear Team DPS,

Throughout the rest of the school year, we’ll be sharing short, self-made videos of scholars, alumni, and educators who want to say thank you to Team DPS for making a difference in their lives. Today’s “Dear Team DPS” video is from Luis Borrego Castaneda – a 2018 graduate of JFK High School and Denver Scholarship Foundation scholar who is graduating this spring from Colorado School of Mines with a degree in chemistry. Watch the video.

To introduce the first “Dear Team DPS,” here’s a short message from our Superintendent, Dr. Alex Marrero.

Catch up with Superintendent Dr. Alex Marrero by following him on Instagram and Twitter, both @DrAlexMarrero!
