David Greenberg – Denver School of Science and Technology

Public schools face many challenges and shortcomings these days, and these issues are particularly severe in urban districts and communities of color where money and resources are often insufficient. Of the students that do graduate from these schools, many are unprepared to attend a four year university or even enter the workforce. In 2004, David Greenberg had the opportunity to design a school in inner-city Denver that would fill these gaps and level the playing field for urban youth while making being smart “cool.” He founded the Denver School of Science and Technology as a public charter school, giving students from all backgrounds the opportunity to have an intensive math and science focused world-class education. With 9 campuses in Denver, CO, the Denver School of Science and Technology has served well over 5,000 students, with 100% of graduates admitted to a four year college.
