Equity & Community

Belonging at UHS

At UHS, we believe that the deepest learning requires collaboration among people who embody a diversity of backgrounds, beliefs, experiences, and perspectives. Building and sustaining a community composed of a wide range of social and cultural identities requires that all members have the resources they need to thrive. To this end, we must further our self- knowledge, our ability to communicate effectively across individual differences, and our capacity to cultivate an anti-racist[1], anti-oppressive[2] school culture mindful of systemic barriers to equity[3]. We do this work on a personal, professional, and an institutional level, recognizing that our community is part of a larger and more complex world.
