César Chávez

César Chávez Academy (2001) and Dolores Huerta Preparatory High (2004) were formed by a diverse group of community members committed to the preparation of Pueblo's students for success as young scholars, citizens of the world, and leaders of character regardless of their socio-economic backgrounds. Our diverse culture embraces the meritorious service of César Chávez and Dolores Huerta, dedicated leaders in the pursuit of equality and recipients of the Presidential Award of Freedom. With the ambitious mission to prepare each student for success in college, CHPA provides a rigorous college preparatory program in a supportive and challenging learning environment and is the only Pueblo school to provide a seamless K-12 education built on virtues of integrity.
