Rocky Hill Middle School believes that having a school community where your child feels safe and respected is an important foundation to their academic success. That is why Rocky Hill Middle School will once again be participating in No Place for Hate®, a national program supporting schools in their commitment to celebrating diversity, promoting respect for differences and challenging bias and bullying at all levels. Our school successfully achieved No Place for Hate® designation in the 2019-2020 school year and 2020-2021 school year, and we are pleased to renew this initiative in the 2021-2022 school year.

Developed by the ADL (Anti-Defamation League) – a leading civil rights organization that has worked for over a century to “secure justice and fair treatment to all” – No Place for Hate® will help us incorporate new anti-bias and bullying prevention resources into our existing programs in order to have one consistent message of inclusivity.

You and your child can help support our No Place for Hate® program in a number of ways:

1. Join our No Place for Hate® Committee to help oversee the program, assess school climate, and plan or volunteer at No Place for Hate® events!

2. Along with your child, sign the No Place for Hate® Pledge to commit to challenging bias and bullying!

3. Practice No Place for Hate® at home! For family resources on challenging bullying and bias, visit https://www.adl.org/education-and-resources/resources-for-educators-parents-families.

To learn more or to get involved with No Place for Hate® at Rocky Hill Middle School, please contact Ms. Isha Gupta at Isha_S_Gupta@mcpsmd.org. With your help, we will make our school community a safe and welcoming space for all.
