What's New

Dear Venture Prep Community:

We understand the community's concerns about the middle school closures with the Smiley Campus.  I am also aware of the fact that there has been  misinformation posted online, in the press, and in community meetings regarding that status of Venture Prep High School.  To be clear, Venture Prep High School is a strong school and plans to remain in the Smiley Campus.  We have a current contract with DPS that will allow us to continue the great work we are doing with our scholars.  We support the efforts of DPS, and are excited to work with the McAuliffe program in a shared-space capacity.

As a high-achieving, highly rated High School in Park Hill, we are currently accepting applications for 9th-12th graders for the 2013-2014 school year. I personally would welcome the opportunity to talk to parents and community members about our High School Program. Please contact me at kburdette@ventureprep.org or at 303-893-0805 to set up a tour and/or meeting.

Holly Square Gets a Makeover

Venture Prep Scholar Ambassadors represented our school at the Holly Square Groundbreaking Ceremony.  The new Anschutz Community Center will be a wonderful recreation center for our Park Hill neighborhood, and it will provide many opportunites for our scholars to spend their time in a fun, safe environment.  The new center is located next to the Hiawatha Davis Rec Center at 35th and Holly St. 

Check out the news video that CBS Channel 4 did on the groundbreaking ceremony.  You might recognize some familiar faces--8th graders Cristian Madrid and Viviana Barnabas.  Way to represent the Panthers!
