The conversation about
diversity at Latin School has been
ongoing, evolving and deepening
in the decades since a handful of
students broke the color barrier
in the late 1950s and early
1960s. With the adoption
of the 1993 mission
statement, the school
for the first time publicly
stated its goal to be a diverse
community of learners.
Early on, this conversation
focused on accessibility
and affordability: How can
we make a Latin school
education possible for students
from a variety of backgrounds?
More recently, the focus has
broadened to considering how
to best serve students of different
races, ethnicities and socioeconomic
backgrounds and those identifying
as a gender or sexual minority,
once they arrive at Latin: What
IT TAKES
ALL KINDS
Latin's Grassroots Approach
