DEI Celebration & Heritage Information

Celebrating cultures gives us an opportunity to see the world through the eyes of someone else. Our district embodies cultures and languages from all over the world. We are not a melting pot, but we are a stir-fry of greatness!
 
Our students and their families speak 83 different languages at home. Highlighting these unique languages will give us an opportunity to access the world from a different lens. Our languages spoken are shown under the SD 308 Languages list!
