We’re so proud of our 3rd grade team!!

🤝Equity means teaching students to honor and celebrate the diverse world around them. Join us in cheering on our third-grade team as the final LOD award winners of the school year for creating an unforgettable, real-world lesson in global citizenship!🌍 Congrats to Melissa Capozza, Nora Colter, Racha Kobitary and Holcomb Mosley.

"Swigert was humbled to host our third Official Naturalization Ceremony for 18 new citizens from 10 different countries on Jan. 23. It is a culminating experience for our third graders as they finish their unit on immigration—understanding different reasons individuals and families immigrate to different countries—both historically and in the present day. The Honorable Judge Olympia Fay, past Swigert parent, presided over the ceremony along with a representative from the Denver field office. As a capstone event for our third-grade students, they brought in the flags representing the different countries, spoke during the ceremony, and sang "I am on my way to the Freedom Land." Congratulations to the new citizens and their families!"

We are so honored to be one of nine DPS schools that have been named winners of the Governor’s Distinguished Improvement Awards!

This award is given to schools that demonstrate exceptional student growth. On the school performance framework that is used by the state to evaluate schools, these schools “exceed” expectations on the indicator related to longitudinal academic growth at all grade levels.

We are so proud of this amazing place!
