Denver Public Schools Eye Red Rocks Return for Graduation Ceremonies

DENVER, CO – Denver Public Schools (DPS) students may soon have the opportunity to celebrate their graduation at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre once again. During a recent Denver City Council meeting, Councilmember Serena Gonzales-Gutierrez expressed her desire to see local graduation ceremonies return to the venue, highlighting her own positive experience as a North High School graduate.

Red Rocks venue director, Tad Bowman, confirmed that Lincoln High School is already slated to hold its graduation ceremony at Red Rocks in 2026. He also indicated that there would be opportunities for three DPS schools in the future. While Red Rocks, owned by the City of Denver but located in Morrison, regularly hosts graduations for other school districts (including Columbine, Chatfield, and Mountain Vista High Schools last year), DPS graduations at the venue have been infrequent in recent years. Archive searches reveal that South High School and KIPP High School held a joint ceremony at Red Rocks in 2021. Other past DPS participants include North High School (1999), Lincoln High School, and John F. Kennedy High School. DPS officials have not yet released a public statement regarding this initiative. The possibility of more DPS students experiencing the unique setting of Red Rocks for their graduation is generating excitement within the community.
