Leadership isn’t just about results, it’s about people. And because of you, DSST: Cedar is a place where students feel seen, supported, and truly believed in.
You’ve built more than a high-performing school, you’ve built a community. One where students are challenged to grow, teachers feel empowered, and families know their children are in good hands.
The numbers matter-100% college acceptance, top rankings across Colorado, but what matters even more is how it feels to walk through our doors every day. That sense of belonging, of high expectations paired with deep care… that comes from you!
Thank you for leading with heart, for showing up consistently, and for believing in what’s possible for every single student.
Our school is better because you lead it and we are so grateful. 💙🧡

Future scientists in action 🧪⚾️
Some of our middle schoolers had the chance to attend Rockies STEM Day with Steve Spangler and it did not disappoint. From competing in the egg drop challenge alongside other DSST schools to cheering on the Colorado Rockies as they took on the San Diego Padres, it was a day full of curiosity, creativity, and fun.
Safe to say…our students crushed it 🥚🧡💙
This past Wednesday, one of our seniors brought a powerful vision to life through their senior project by hosting DSST: Cedar’s very first African Diaspora! From incredible performances to meaningful learning and delicious food, the event honored and uplifted the richness of our students’ African cultures. We are so proud of the leadership, creativity, and community this event brought to life ❤️💛💚
