🎉☀️ SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER, KIPP COLORADO! ☀️🎉

What. A. Year. 🔥

Because of the passion, commitment, and belief of our students, families, and staff, this year was nothing short of extraordinary.

🎓 Class of 2026 achievements:
✅ 99% admitted to college
✅ 2,300 college applications submitted
✅ 1,212 college acceptances earned
✅ $26.1 MILLION in scholarships awarded.

Our results happened because our students worked hard, our families showed up, and our educators led with relentless belief, high expectations, and deep love.

THIS is what happens when we invest in kids. THIS is what possibility looks like. 🚀

Enjoy a well-deserved summer, KIPP Colorado. Rest. Recharge. Celebrate.

And then get ready... because we're just getting started. 💙💚

Happy Pride Month, y'all! 🏳️‍🌈

At KIPP Colorado, we know students thrive when they know that they belong. Every student deserves to be seen, celebrated, and supported for exactly who they are. When that happens, they’re empowered to learn, lead, and pursue their biggest dreams.

This month, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ students, educators, alumni, families, and staff who make our schools stronger, brighter, and more welcoming every day.

Pride is also a chance to reflect on Colorado’s role in LGBTQ+ history. In 1996, the landmark Supreme Court case Romer v. Evans began right here in Colorado and became the first ruling to affirm constitutional protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation—a pivotal moment in the fight for equality.

At KIPP Colorado, we're committed to building school communities where every student feels they belong, their voice matters, and their brilliance can shine.

Happy Pride Month! 🌈✨

Thank you, Principal Mun, for the love and leadership you bring to our school community! 🌟

So proud of KSPE KIPPster Amayrani, 4th grade Spanish Spelling Bee champion in Denver and 3rd IN THE STATE! 🏆✨

One of her favorite words to spell? "oferta," or "offering" in English!

In her own words: "It felt so different than when I participated last year— I grew a lot. It felt really good to win, and it was surprising to see it in myself."

That kind of self-awareness and growth? That's the real prize. We love to see it! 💜

🥊Gustavo, an 11th grader at KIPP Northeast Denver Leadership Academy, is now the 2026 Colorado State Golden Gloves Champion in his division! 🏆

“It felt good—I was SO excited to win.”
