As the Dean of Culture for Middle & High School at Denver Online, GiGi Sigala passionately advocates for inclusion, equity, diversity, and justice within the Denver Public Schools community. A proud fourth-generation Northwest Denver native, GiGi’s commitment to serving her city took root early in life, sparked by a transformative experience as a student at Edison Elementary. After penning a powerful, award-winning essay, she was selected to represent her school at a citywide competition and attend a luncheon with the Mayor. This encounter planted the seed for a lifelong dedication to public service.

While at George Washington High School, GiGi emerged as a student leader, recognizing the importance of community engagement and access to higher education. She actively worked to bridge opportunity gaps, volunteering as a peer mentor for College Path, a pre-collegiate program for students facing systemic barriers in Northwest Denver. This experience deepened her commitment to empowering young people, ensuring they had the resources and support to pursue college and meaningful careers.

GiGi’s passion for education and community engagement naturally led her to Denver Public Schools, where she began her career as an educator and counselor. She has since served as a Program Supervisor for DPS; a Youth Corps Colorado Coordinator, helping young people of all abilities, backgrounds, and lived experiences access life-changing opportunities; and a Marketing Event and Meeting Director, where she thrived in creating impactful experiences that fostered meaningful connections.

Now, as Dean of Culture, GiGi remains deeply committed to shaping a school environment where every student feels seen, valued, and supported. With an unwavering belief in the power of education and community, she is honored to continue her journey with DPS—where her own story began as a teenager, eager to make a difference.

Beyond her role in education, GiGi serves on various community boards, further amplifying her commitment to advocacy, equity, and meaningful change. Through this work, she continues to uplift and support initiatives that empower students, families, and the broader Denver community.
