Supports for Teachers of Color

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity are extremely important to the entire AHS professional learning community. Teachers are treated as individuals with needs and strengths that reflect our diverse identities and backgrounds. This includes an understanding of the inequity and oppression experienced by many teachers of color and other groups such as the LGBTQ+ community.
