丹尼斯LaRosa

Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

With the United States’ increasingly diverse population intertwined with historical and contemporary societal injustices, it has become imperative that schools make creating a diverse, 公平的, and inclusive school community a priority, not just an idea to put on paper. We at Ellis are committed to establishing our school as a leader in 股本 and justice initiatives through a strategic and intentional approach to diversity, 股本, and 包容 work and initiatives. 其核心是, this work begins with all students feeling that they are seen, 听到, and 已知的 throughout their school community.
As a member of the Ellis community, I have witnessed the continued evolution of 澳门官方老葡京’s aim to ensure every student is seen, 听到, 已知的, 感觉安全的, and is treated fairly through the lens of both a faculty member and a parent of two students of color. One of my favorite African proverbs is “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.“创造一个多样化的, 公平的, and inclusive school community takes time, 意向性, 集体的努力. It is my hope that together, we can go far and deep into the work that will affirm and sustain the identities of all students who grace the Ellis campus.
