Video games are often unfairly blamed for causing negative behavior in people, but I believe that the truth is, video games can actually be beneficial in many ways.

        In downtown Denver, Cinco De Mayo is a huge event where everyone is invited and welcome. The holiday celebrates Mexico’s victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla in 1862. While the holiday is not widely celebrated in Mexico, it is still popular amongst Mexican Americans in America. There is a lot of entertainment and food. One of the entertainments is Folklorico Dancing. Folklorico Dancing has been around for many years. It is mostly known for the dresses, the movement of the dresses, and the music.

DPS Shakespeare Festival is a Highlight of DMHS's Year

Normally, a few thousand school children marching through the streets might be a cause for concern. But in Denver, Colorado, it marks one of the most exciting events in the school year.

Every April, Downtown Denver is home to the yearly Denver Public Schools Shakespeare Festival, where students of all ages from schools across Denver come together to march in a costumed parade and perform scenes and plays by Shakespeare. The event lasts all day, with scenes and plays performed simultaneously on many stages. The Festival is filled with children, teachers, community members, and parents, as students show off their acting chops.

OPINION - Marvel Phase 4 Is Not As Bad As the Haters Say. In Fact, It's Good. By Siri Sherrod

 Please enjoy this opinion article from DMHS's "Introduction to Journalism" class.

Many Marvel fans believe that Phase 4 is the worst Marvel phase. I disagree. I think Phase 4 is better at representing minorities. Phase 4 has more LGBTQ+ and racially diverse characters than the other phases had. 

Phase 1 consisted of all white male leads plus a team-up movie. Same thing for Phase 2. Phase 3 had Black Panther which was very progressive and successful and Captain Marvel which had a white female lead but was not received well.
