Focus areas


  • We support students' efforts to create an inclusive and equitable community at NNHS, with a particular focus on supporting students of color


  • We learn from NNHS administration and staff about their efforts to promote racial equity and culturally responsive teaching, with the goal of reinforcing those efforts in our own families


  • We educate ourselves and the larger NNHS community about issues of racism and racial justice, with the goal of taking action to strengthen our school and community
