What We Do

  • I am Denver South Campaign

    Our goal this past year was to raise $120K, which we accomplished. The funds raised support the 4A’s and enables contributions to the school to cover items which are not funded by the District or cannot be covered by our annual budget but are important to making South a competitive school while retaining our unique culture and community.
