Students at North High are so outraged over the beloved teacher’s departure that a group of them lined the hallways Wednesday chanting in support of Tim Hernández.
Daniela Urbina-Valle went through Denver Public Schools without ever seeing a teacher who looked like her — Brown skin, Latino roots.Urbina-Valle was in Hernández’s “Latinos in Action” class and his English class. She participated in the after-school club Hernández advised, Somos Mecha, which focused on providing food to hungry students.
Leadership at North High School, located in Denver’s Northside at 2960 Speer Blvd., decided last week not to renew Hernández’s teaching contract for the next school year, meaning the early-career teacher who lives a few blocks from the school where he teaches will not be returning. Scott Pribble, a spokesperson for Denver Public Schools, said the district would not discuss specifics around Hernandez’s situation because it was a personnel matter.
Hernández took the role, knowing many of his colleagues transitioned from associate teaching positions to become traditional teachers.
