Denver Public Schools
Emily Griffith High School, created “for all who wish to learn,” continues its vision of equity for all students by offering rigorous coursework in a supportive environment in order to cultivate productive, prepared, and compassionate citizens of the world.
Emily Griffith High School provides pathways for students who choose to pursue their high school diploma or GED and post-secondary goals. An authentic curriculum, flexible scheduling, small class sizes, and robust social/emotional support serve as a springboard for students to demonstrate competency in courses while having the opportunity to simultaneously engage in college, career, and technical education programs.
EGHS Counselors offer a variety of services to promote growth and success to students in the follow areas:
For more detailed information on what we address within those areas, please click here.
EGHS Counselors WANT to get to know each and every student and have the ability to do so with smaller student “caseloads”. We all commit to having open door policies and will do our best to individualize our work with students to meet their needs. We recognize the uniqueness of each student, that each has their own potential for success in their future and we hope to be a part of helping them find the pathway to that future!
So students… please come see us for more than just a schedule change or turning in a credit slip!! We want to support you in any way you entrust us to!
The flyer above was advertised to the DPS central office employees at the Emily Griffith Campus. The back of the flyer read, “As Central Office Employees, it is easy to lose sight of our connection to the students we work to support each day. DPS Cares works to lessen the disconnect by providing you with opportunities to give personal student support. Starting this month, you can directly empower students by becoming a tutor at Emily Griffith High School. Tutors are asked to commit one hour per week. It’s only an elevator ride away!”
The response to the EGHS and DPS Cares partnership was extremely positive. Many employees signed up right away to take part in the pilot program. Now, many of our students are benefitting from extra one on one support. Take a look at what our tutors have to say about the program:
“I feel like my student partner is really appreciating the extra help and I really appreciate having the opportunity to work with the students, so it’s a win/win.”-Stefan R.
“This has been an invaluable experience for me”.-Michelle P.
If you are a student and would like to work with a tutor, please see Pablo Joucovsky (Dean of Culture) in room 315
