Monthly Equity Spotlights

In the fall, Principal Martin Boyd, Marinela Diaz, and other Evans Jr. High School staff orchestrated Hispanic Professionals Events across several weeks in their building. They invited guest speakers who immigrated to the United States and obtained professional positions in the community.  The guest speakers included a physician, a journalist, a business manager, and an attorney.  These professionals have immigrated to the US from Venezuela, Mexico, and Columbia.  Students were engaged in conversations about navigating potential cultural and linguistic differences to thrive educationally and professionally. EJHS demonstrated intentional exposure to an exciting range of future opportunities.
