The Diversity & Racial Equity department works to implement the Palm Springs Unified School District initiatives where we are committed to an equitable, socially just, and anti-racist educational system that is based on fairness, dignity and democracy in order to foster student success. We serve and honor our diverse student body in regards to ethnicity, language, culture, national origin, socio-economic status, age, physical and mental ability, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious beliefs and family structure. We commit to be an anti-racist and anti-discriminatory learning community that creates safe learning spaces where all students are welcomed, included, and respected. Every student, every day. We oversee a tapestry of enriching projects designed to foster inclusivity, celebrate different backgrounds, and promote equity within our community. At the forefront of these initiatives is our annual Diversity and Racial Equity Conference, the College & Culture Tours, and the PSUSD Multicultural Festival. We strive to provide multiple opportunities to capture student voice such as student panels, interviews, and surveys. Our team provides ongoing learning opportunities to increase cultural awareness amongst our learning community through workshops and events around cultural awareness. Each of these programs is crafted with the intent to create a more equitable and inclusive environment where everyone, regardless of their background, feels valued and empowered. To bring these impactful projects to fruition, we are seeking the support of generous donors who share our vision for building inclusive and welcoming environment. Your contributions will enable us to expand these programs, reach more individual scholars, and make a lasting difference in our community. We invite you to join us in this vital work and help us build a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
