Principal:Tibor Zahony - "Mr. Z"
Email:Tibor.Zahony@DenverJustice.org
My name is Tibor Zahony and I am a Denver native. I attended Colorado State University in Fort Collins and graduated with a BA in English Literature with a minor in History. I moved to Europe after CSU and taught for two years before returning to Denver and working as a teacher in DPS where I taught English, Geography and Civics at PREP. I then moved back to Europe and taught for a few more years before becoming the Assistant Principal at Denver Justice for a five-year period. I returned to school to complete an MA in History and then worked as an IB teacher and an IB Coordinator in Europe for many years. Returning to Denver again is a homecoming - and returning to Denver Justice provides me with a possibility and opportunity to contribute to a mission I believe in.
