In order to ensure that all individuals have access to an education that is free of racism, bias, and other forms of bigotry, and to support the intellectual development and growth of students at Central Catholic High School, we pledge to:

• Actively identify and challenge an individual or systemic act of racism and other forms of discrimination and bigotry within the school community, exposing such acts through positive communication.

• Express strong declarations of solidarity with those who are in constructed margins or othered, to eradicate forms of racism, bias, and prejudice in spaces of teaching and learning.

• Not only promote cultural diversity and expand linguistic knowledge, but explicitly push for anti-racism by creating ongoing learning for students, educators, and parents about countering racism and other forms of bigotry, bias, and prejudice.

• Support the implementation, and enforcement of Central Catholic’s code of conduct and policies that provide sanctions against discrimination of racial, ethnic, physical, and mental disability, gender, sexual orientation, and religious and political affiliation in education.

The sole purpose is to create a safe and positive learning environment for all students and staff members, free from any form of micro-aggression, racism, or unconscious bias towards any group of people. We are all encouraged to think before we speak at Central Catholic HS

The Central Catholic Equity and Community Engagement program supports our school’s mission to create an inclusive, equitable, and anti-racist community.  Our Program is committed to building a community rooted in equity, liberation and engagement.   We are committed to creating and supporting community collaboration, courageous conversations and critical thinking.
