Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Update

Dear Members of the Archbishop Mitty Community,

As the school year begins, we want to update you on the work that has been done this summer regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion at Archbishop Mitty High School.  The last three months have provided us with an opportunity to hear from many of our school’s constituents and to begin the important work of addressing issues of systemic racism at Archbishop Mitty High School.

Monarchs Advocate for Social Justice

Students participating in the Mitty Advocacy Project spent the summer engaged in an antiracism digital advocacy campaign in support of Black Lives Matter. Through a blog, Instagram, and a new supplemental website, students focused on amplifying the voices of Black creators and sharing resources to raise awareness and address the intersection of racism with environmental justice, mental health, and voting.
