"Our family has recently experienced how caring the teachers and staff at South are. My daughter has had some health issues which inluded being hospitalized 2 times and missing at least 11 days of school. Each teacher made sure to check in with her when she was able to attend school and they are helping her catch up. Everyone was concerned for her wellbeing. I would like to also add that her big sister (South Alum) is a Freshman at CSU, is currently taking advanced courses & is earning 4 points in all her classes"

"South High School has a trove of dedicated and talented teachers with a culturally diverse student population. In my opinion, no other school in the district compares with South High."

"I just started working at South. I have been in DPS since 1990, and I think South is the best kept secret in Denver Public Schools. The administration is definitely top notch. The faculty and staff are very positive and I really like that. Only great things can happen in this type of healthy environment. I expect to have a great year of success because the administration is doing everything right; I feel I am being set up to be the very best I can possibly be for my students."
