West Middle School creates a learning environment for middle school students focused on providing students with the necessary skills to be college and career ready. We focus on the individual academic and social-emotional needs of all students. Denver West honors the history of the West campus by continuing the fight for justice and access for all students, much like the Denver West community did over 50 years ago during the 1969 protest. Learn more about the history of the Denver West Campus here. The Denver West Middle School mission is to dismantle systemic racism by honoring culture and language -- learning, growing, and leading in a multicultural community.
