We can do more to review and update our school curricula to dialogue about and understand systemic racism and its effects across all metrics (e.g., financial, education, health, home ownership, criminal justice, infant mortality rate). We can do more to teach our young men to utilize the tools in our democracy to continue to change its systems to reflect liberty and justice for all.
We commit to engaging our faculty, staff, parents, students, and alumni to fulfill our mission to educate and accompany young people, especially those who are marginalized members of society. The following actions outline realistic steps that we will take as we continue to fulfill our mission and be leaders in creating change:
We also are open to your thoughts, suggestions, or feedback on how St. John Bosco High School can be a better and more inclusive school community for Black and marginalized community members. Please use this form to add to the conversation. Sincerely Dr. De Larkin
