DTA was started in 1957 by visionary Denver businessman, Charles W. Lerch.  He was dedicated to strengthening our foundation of freedom and believed that the most effective way to do this was by encouraging quality education in the Denver Public Schools. 

The tradition has been continued by DTA board members who raise funds each year to support the organization and its work.  Over the past 50 years, DTA has recognized 430 teachers and distributed cash awards totaling $271,000.00.  In addition, since 1992, the Helen Phelps Award has given $19,000.00 in cash awards to 21 outstanding volunteers who have made a positive impact to a Denver Public school. The Helen Phelps Award has also recognized 18 businesses/organizations for their support of a Denver Public school.
