COME HERE. BECOME (The Best You) HERE. For nearly 120 years, Des Moines Public Schools has been in the community, for our community. We meet our students where they are and help them become who they want to be. We do that by offering the most comprehensive curriculum in Iowa, preparing them for college and careers. And with students from more than 100 countries, our global perspective prepares them for life. We are proud of our past, excited for our future, and welcome students to come here and become here.
