A letter from the director of diversity & multicultural education
We believe that understanding the many dimensions of diversity is essential to excellence in education. Our commitment is to advance diversity as part of the fundamental fabric of the Burroughs experience and to prepare students for the increasingly diverse and globally-oriented world of the 21st century.
Our current efforts focus on implementation of a strategic plan for diversity and inclusivity through multicultural and global education. This plan provides broader vision, greater structure, and more coordination to our work, but all of it derives from more than a decade of commitment on the part of the faculty and administration, the Board of Trustees, our students, our parents, and our alumni. In short, we are fortunate to have all segments of our community actively engaged in this process.
It is our desire to always stand available as a place where open minds can share resources for individual and community growth. We invite you to explore this website for additional information about our diversity efforts and initiatives. More than that, we hope you will partner with us in advancing our commitment. With that in mind, please feel free to contact us with any ideas, questions or suggestions about our programs and initiatives.
Sincerely,
Daniel M. Harris
Director of Diversity & Multicultural Education
History Teacher and Track Coach
