In 2015 Denver South High is home to two Boettcher Scholars, one National Merit Scholar, four Daniels Fund finalists, one Coca-Cola scholar, plus winner of the DPS Retired Teacher Scholarship – AND – recipients of over $4.5 million in scholarship money, all as of March 25, 2015. The Denver School Board recently recognized two Denver South seniors for their athletic prowess and creative talents, and paid tribute to Denver South alum Mawukle Yebuah for his devotion to community service, especially his efforts to increase higher education access for black males. All these celebrated successes reflect the challenge, support and community that nurture Rebel culture.
