Earlier this month, our Department of Social Work and Psychological Services honored the School Psychologist of the Year and the School Social Worker of the Year for the 2021-22 school year. Nominations for the awards came in from across DPS and were reviewed by the department’s leadership team. Amber Brydon from Girls Athletic Leadership Schools of Denver (GALS) was named School Psychologist of the Year and Angel Saiz from Northfield High School was named Social Worker of the Year.

“Both Angel and Amber are the epitome of the work that is done in our schools,” said Ellen Kelty, DPS Director of Mental Health Services. “I am so proud to honor these two for the work that they do every day to support and serve the DPS students and staff.”

Congratulations, Amber and Angel!
