KIPP Denver Collegiate High School
Ranks #9 in Colorado
On its 2015 Best High Schools list, U.S. News & World Report
ranked KIPP Denver Collegiate High School (KDC) as ninth
among all public high schools in Colorado. Among the top ten
schools in Colorado, KDC is the only high school serving a high
population of students from low-income backgrounds. We are

Teacher Spotlight: Phil Munsterman
Phil teaches algebra and statistics and is the math
department chair at KIPP Denver Collegiate High School
(KDC).
For some math
teachers, the
lessons stop at
numbers and
formulas. Not for
Phil Munsterman,
who was one of 9
teachers statewide
to receive the
9Teachers Who Care award from 9NEWS. He's made it his
mission to partner with students and families to empower them
to pursue their dreams. With 95 percent of KDC students
eligible for free or reduced price lunch, Phil knows many of them
have not had an easy time in life. He believes deeply in what his
students can accomplish with the right support system, and he
says his students' desire to be the best rubs off on him.
Award winners were nominated by colleagues, friends, parents,
and students for excellence in educating Colorado's children.
Watch his story here. Congratulations, Phil!
