Achieve Gala

Achieve Gala 2025

Achieve Gala 2025 was a night filled with music and joy, with student entertainment performances from the Denver South High School drumline and Kunsmiller Creative Arts Academy theatre group, performing the song “C’Mon Everybody” from the All Shook Up Musical.

We also sang along during a special duet performance featuring a 4th grade student from Asbury Elementary School and a senior student from George Washington High School.

Lastly, we wrapped up the evening by watching DPS Superintendent, Dr. Alex Marrero join the Grant Beacon Middle School Band on stage for an exciting musical performance to the song Dedication Fanfare, by Carol Brittin Chambers.
