Multicultural/Diversity Education in SKSDBuilders of U

Vision Statement:
South Kitsap School District will be a care, supportive and safe community which values the individual and celebrates our differences. 

Embracing diversity encompasses acceptance and respect for all people.  Differences can include, but are not limited to; race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, or political beliefs.  Celebrating diversity is the exploration of these differences in a caring, safe and supportive community.

 
 
We encourage all staff to make a commitment to:
  • Set a positive example for our students
  • Speak out against prejudice, intolerance and injustice.
  • Work to recognize and overcome our own biases
