EdEquity Corner

The next meeting of EdEquity Corner is Wednesday January 13 from 7:00-8:30 PM. We hope you'll join us to discuss a topic that's on a lot of families' minds: school choice.

We will explore school choice, how we got here, how it's working, and how you can make the most informed and equitable choices for your family and all Park Hill students.

This is a free virtual event. Register today! and please feel free to invite a neighbor or two.

Deconstructing Keyes

Did you know that school enrollment in Park Hill was addressed by the United States Supreme Court and is part of our nation’s history of desegregation litigation? Learn more about the important case Keyes v. School District No. 1 in January’s issue of the Greater Park Hill News. Erin Pier interviews Laura Lefkowits, who was a member of the Denver School Board in 1995 when the Keyes case came to an end. In the piece, Laura and Erin discuss the background of the case and its importance to our neighborhood history and the history of DPS.
Check out Erin's thoughts here.
