Heritage Panel

Congratulations to our 30 students who were selected to participate in our school's first Heritage Panel. The Heritage Panel is a unique student leadership opportunity designed to combat bullying and to create a more inclusive school environment.  This co-educational program was created by the Young Women's Christian Association of Central Alabama.  Holley Jackson, YWCA Coordinator of AmeriCorps and Social Justice, said the Heritage Panel is a two-day social justice training where students are encouraged to tell a story of a time when they witnessed, perpetrated or were a victim of discrimination or bullying and how they will learn from the experience.  The focus is on seeing past our differences.  I am so excited for our students to have this opportunity!  Look for more information after the conclusion of the two-day program!  Have an Incredible Week and Go Hornets!
