PRIDE Group

The PRIDE group is all about 2SLGTBQIA+ students and allies having a space where they are understood, valued and welcomed. Students sometimes choose to share their cool videos, or their thoughts/experiences in life and at times seek support from each other or from the teachers (Ms. Jepson, Ms. Speevak, Ms. Cesario, Ms. Dubinski). We have various events that go on throughout the year that we work towards so we can make our school a more inclusive and understanding community.
 
Please reach out to Ms. Jepson at [email protected] if you would like more details, alternatively ask anyone in student services (ex. a counselor) and they can help you to link up with PRIDE.  If you are too nervous to reach out in any of these ways, or you would like to remain anonymous for now, then you can click the button below to anonymously contact Ms. Jepson.
