The mission of the Office of Schools, led by DPS Deputy Superintendent, Dr. Tony Smith, is to shape the instructional vision for the district in service of an excellent Student Experience. To bring that vision to life, the Office of Schools works collaboratively across central and school-based teams to have the greatest impact on our students and families.

Grounded in our 2023-2024 Priority School Actions and our 2023-24 Goals for our Students, we are collectively committed to accelerating the trajectory of our marginalized studenst, which is the core aim of our Strategic Roadmap. 

The Office of Schools is comprised of several essential functional areas for the district with the goal of providing the most comprehensive and coherent support and service to our schools.
