Description:

Our School is a wonderfully diverse multicultural community. The majority of our students are children of color and most speak at least one language in addition to English. Our students come from all over the world, with a majority arriving from Africa and South/Central America. Many are the first in their families to progress beyond grade school or to have any formal schooling at all. Their families have risked and sacrificed much to come to America and have high hopes for their children to experience opportunity and success.

The bulletin board includes inspirational sayings in both English and Spanish. The images on the board show people of color achieving in athletics and also in non-stereotypical fields. The message of the board, and of our Physical Education classes, is that the discipline, effort and tenacity that we develop in athletics will support our success in any endeavor.
