Washburn Demands Justice - A Statement from WHS Student Council
The Washburn Student Council has published a statement about racial justice. Please click to see the full statement.
"We not only demand that community leaders address social injustices through systemic changes in the areas of police reform, voting rights & access, and economic disparities in our city, but we call on our whole school community do the following:
-
Commit to practicing anti-racism work at school and in our own personal lives;
-
Acknowledge and address the systematic problems in our own school system that create divisions and separations between white students and students of color;
-
Listen to and uplift the voices of students of color."
Meet the Washburn Staff!
We are so excited to welcome our Millers to the new school year! Since we can't be together in person, our staff are sending a welcome by video. You can click on individual teachers & staff, or watch them all. Go to this Flipgrid link and enter guest code MeetWHSStaff. Enjoy!
