Commitment to Diversity
The University High School community recognizes that diversity exists on many levels and is committed to creating a safe school environment—inside and outside the building—for positive, nurturing celebration, discussion, and disagreement.
Members of our community are expected to:
- Practice mutual respect for qualities and experiences that are different from our own.
- Understand and appreciate the interdependence of humanity, cultures, and the natural environment.
- Recognize that personal, cultural, and institutionalized discrimination creates and sustains privileges for some while creating and sustaining disadvantages for others.
- Build alliances across differences so that we can work together to eradicate all forms of discrimination.
