Thursday, October 10th, 2024 will mark our fourth annual Social Justice Day! Upper Division students will participate in workshops and grade-level seminars centered on social justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Our day will be organized around the theme:
This site will house all the information regarding the day including details on workshops and seminars, as well as information on our guest speakers. The schedule can also be found below.
How does our theme relate to Social Justice Day?
We often think of social justice as something larger than ourselves. Perhaps it can be overwhelming to get involved. Perhaps we don't know where to start. However, each and every one of us has a sphere of influence. We all have something to contribute to the ocean of transformation. By making as many ripples as we can each day, we can collectively create waves of progress and change.
Affirmation: Every small action I take contributes to a larger movement.
