Exploring the diversity of the people who live, work and learn in our community.

A collaboration between Piedmont and Millenium High School Students,

Piedmont Appreciating Diversity Committee and the City of Piedmont

The aim of the project is to illustrate Piedmont’s diversity and foster an appreciation of

differences in our community through visual representation and text of interviews

with those who live, work and learn in our community.
