Teacher Appreciation

Denver Public Schools celebrates National Teacher Appreciation Week every year during the month of May.

Our teachers are at the forefront of our students’ education and are the greatest resources in helping us reach our vision, Every Learner Thrives. Please join us in honoring our educators for the amazing work they do every day!

Student Voices

I love my teacher because...she is genuinely my favorite teacher. Ms. Landen makes every lesson fun, even the most boring topics. She is just a wonderful person to be around. She makes her class the most enjoyable part of my school day. Even if she wasn't my teacher, I'd want to be friends with her.

My teacher...has inspired me to become a teacher. I want to help students like she's helped me.

A teacher is...A guide for a student, helping them to flourish towards their chosen path, or aid in the search for one.

I love my teacher because she teaches me English so I can learn how to speak and write in my second language. Learning a new language is fun and important because now I can communicate with many more people in the world.
