Diversity - Equity - Inclusion

• Catholic Social Teaching calls us to pursue justice and peace, and live out the virtue of solidarity with all people. We take these teachings to heart and personalize them to who we are as a school. Our Christian 信仰s demand that we educate and challenge our school community to reject all forms of discrimination. We pursue and promote all forms of diversity in our school including but not limited to: ability, 年龄, 信仰, 种族, 家庭结构, 性别, 性别认同, 学习风格, 比赛, 宗教, 性取向, 社会经济地位. We continually strive to make all members of the Bishop Blanchet community feel welcome, 庆祝, 和安全的. 

• 的se efforts are modeled on our 多样性,装备的ity, and Inclusion (DEI) Framework. 的 DEI Framework is grounded in the four foundational principles of Catholic Social Teaching: Solidarity, 辅助性原则, Human Dignity and the 共同利益. In utilizing the DEI Framework, our community is called to become architects of a just society through a cycle of reflection, 观察, 分析, 和行动.

亲爱的社区, 

As part of the Bishop Blanchet mission, we strive to form and educate each student within a challenging, 积极的, 多样化的环境. An integral part of this mission is our ability to continuously expand on the ways we cultivate a more inclusive and diverse school community reflective of our global community. Our increasingly global community is one where 比赛, 性别, class, ability, and 年龄 intersect. 在这个现实中, we recognize our responsibility as global citizens to eng年龄 in continuous education and awareness. 

At BBHS, the model for these efforts is known as the DEI Framework. Grounded in Catholic Social Teaching, the DEI Framework empowers the BBHS community to become architects of a just society through a cycle of reflection, 观察, 分析, 和行动.

Our DEI Framework focuses on the four pillars of Catholic Social Teaching - Human Dignity, 共同利益, 辅助与团结. Through Catholic Social Teaching, we are called to pursue justice and peace by continuously and actively aligning ourselves with our sisters and brothers, especially the most on the margins. This is who we are at BBHS, we take this call to uphold human dignity and the common good to heart. While we recognize the work we have done thus far, we also challenge ourselves to dig deeper, to take a step beyond our comfort zones, and continue standing with the marginalized by working together towards justice and 股本 for the entire Blanchet community and beyond. 

In an effort to celebrate and reflect the needs of our growing community, Blanchet has several student 亲和力组 and 社会 justice focused clubs. 的 BBHS student affinity clubs currently include: Asian Pacific Islander Club, 黑人学生会, 拉丁裔学生会 and 遗产委员会. We celebrate this richness of diversity through events such as Diversity Week and the annual 多元化领导峰会. 

We support our Faculty and Staff members throughout the year by offering resources and opportunities for continued formation in the areas of diversity, 股本, 和包容. Educators attend DEI workshops, 我们的“午餐和学习”系列, 聆听客座演讲者, and attend local and national professional development conferences.

We strive to make our students of color and their families feel welcome, 庆祝, 和安全的 through the efforts of our Multicultural Affairs Council.

和平,
