The Cesar Chavez Academy is a public charter school serving grades K-8 with the Dolores Huerta Preparatory High to be able to provide a rigorous high school curriculum for our students as they pass the elementary/middle school levels. The mission of the Academy is to prepare Pueblo’s children for success as young scholars, citizens of the world, and community leaders by providing them with an ambitious academic program in a supportive and challenging learning environment. While preparing children to meet and exceed Colorado’s high academic content standards, the school places a unique emphasis on the history, culture, and language of Latinos. The Academy also incorporates parents and community in the education process, and teaches its students that community involvement and participation is critical to success.
