Katie Gallardo and her husband made the decision to send their daughter to Guardian Angel Catholic School in Denver due to their strong Catholic beliefs and financial considerations. The school has been a part of their family for years, with Gallardo’s husband also attending there. However, the Archdiocese of Denver recently announced that the school would be closing due to financial and enrollment challenges.
Gallardo and other parents at Guardian Angel are fighting to keep the school open independently of the archdiocese, but this would require significant fundraising efforts. The closure of the school would have a significant impact on the north Denver community, as it provides a safe and supportive environment for students and families.
Despite exploring other options, Gallardo and her family may not be able to afford to continue sending their daughter to Catholic school if Guardian Angel closes. The community is rallying together to save the school and preserve the sense of community it provides. However, the future of Guardian Angel remains uncertain, as parents and supporters work to find a way to keep the school open and continue serving the underprivileged population it has supported for over 50 years.
