The LWHS Diversity Action Team: Identity, Intersectionality, and Equity
Everything at LW should serve and help the students learn and grow. Diversity Action Team (DAT) was created to assist students by working to build a safe and encouraging community. Principal Thomas first invited students to share their concerns around diversity three years ago. Since then, our mission and values have evolved. The Diversity Action Team was created for the students, by the students. Our work spans far over the spectrum of diversity as we work in solidarity to help ALL students find representation, safety, acceptance, and equity in our school community. This year, we have plans to work on student needs in the areas of racial equity, ableism, mental health and neurodiversity, LGBTQ issues, and religious and ethnic minority issues. We look forward to working with administration, staff, student leadership, parents, and our community to create a fully equitable and empowering school culture.
