(1946-1991)
Statue of Richard T. Castro donated by Mrs. Castro
The namesake of our school is Denver native Richard T.
Castro. He attended Denver area schools before entering Trinidad State
Junior College. He earned his bachelor's degree from Metro State
College and his master's degree from the University of Denver. Mr.
Castro was an outspoken leader regarding the importance of education to
meet the needs of our culturally diverse population.
At the time
of his death, April 13, 1991, Mr. Castro was the executive director of
Denver's Agency for Human Rights and Community Relations. In 1974, Mr.
Castro was elected to the first of five consecutive terms in the
Colorado House of Representatives. He continued his public service on
the local, state and national level particularly in the area of human
rights.
Mr. Castro once said, "Education's role in our society
cannot be minimized. Preparation of our children for the future
enhances and strengthens our society. Quality education is a worthwhile
investment in our children and communities. It is quite probably the
most critical investment a people can make."
