Inventing the Future in Denair: Small Schools, Big Ideas

Welcome to the Denair Unified School District’s DonorsChoose page!

In Denair, we often talk about the "vibe" of our schools—it’s a feeling of energy, excitement, and deep-rooted community support. As Superintendent, I am incredibly proud of our small-but-mighty district, where every student is known by name and every teacher is dedicated to providing high-quality instruction.

Our newest initiative is our most ambitious yet. We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Lemelson-MIT to bring Invention Education to Denair. This isn't just about learning science; it's about teaching our students to be inventors. By providing a framework for identifying real-world problems and creating unique solutions, we are giving our students the grit and creative confidence to succeed in a rapidly changing world.

Your support on this page helps fuel our core district initiatives:

Invention & Innovation: Supporting our Lemelson-MIT partnership by providing the "maker" materials and technology students need to bring their inventions to life.

A Portrait of a Graduate: Ensuring every Denair student—from our Dual Language Immersion program at DECA to our CTE pathways—ignites their passion and builds a mindset of success.

The Whole Child: Investing in social-emotional growth and positive school cultures so every child feels safe to take risks and dream big.

Our teachers are the ones who “make it happen” for the kids. They teach ALL students the skills that are foundational to real-world success. By supporting a project here, you are putting the tools for discovery directly into their hands.

Whether you are a local neighbor or a "Friend of Denair" from afar, thank you for investing in our students. Together, we are empowering tomorrow’s leaders today.

The children are waiting…

Dr. Terry Metzger
