Central Support
DPS is focused on creating teams that puts our efforts where it matters most: creating classrooms that are vibrant centers of learning, where caring teachers are engaging their students in rigorous, culturally responsive experiences so that all children excel.
There are a variety of opportunities to support our kids and educators outside of the classroom. Some of our Central Office Support departments include:
