Equity & Belonging

We See God in All People
That is why at Marist High School, our top priority is creating a safe and nurturing learning environment for all students of all backgrounds, where they can thrive and know from day one that they are welcomed and embraced for who they are.



“We hope to promote and celebrate our cultural diversity. We are also planning professional development opportunities aimed at promoting heightened cultural awareness for the faculty and the staff.”
Latoya Hayes
Director of Equity & Belonging
Diversity
“The range of human differences, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, social class, physical ability or attributes, religious or ethical values system, national origin, and political beliefs.” (Ferris State University)”
Equity
“The fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all people, while at the same time striving to identify and eliminate barriers that prevent the full participation of some groups. The principle of equity acknowledges that there are historically underserved and underrepresented populations and that fairness regarding these unbalanced conditions is necessary to provide equal opportunities to all groups.” (University of Washington)
Inclusion
“The act of creating an environment in which any individual or group will be welcomed, respected, supported and valued as a fully participating member.” (University of Washington)
