A common barometer used when talking about AHS's Culture of Excellence is envisioning a high school environment that is so unique and so inspirational that the school would be featured on the Oprah Winfrey show. Well it appears that Colorado's other High Tech High model school has done just that! Congrats to the Denver School of Science and Technology for their upcoming profile on Oprah and proving to all that high expectations, habits of heart and mind and strong student/staff relationships can definitly create a Culture of Excellence worthy of national attention!
