Despite the many challenges our students face throughout their lifetime, an important skill we want all students to develop during their time at BRCPS is pride in themselves.

Recognizing our self-worth requires discovering joy and strength in all aspects of our identity including race, culture, gender, abilities, and personal strengths.
