FCHS Commitment to Equity & Inclusivity

At Fort Collins High, we value, strive for, and celebrate an inclusive school community which honors the lived experiences of individuals from diverse cultures and backgrounds and recognizes the historical events and policies that have shaped the present. We recognize the importance of listening to, learning about, and acknowledging the wide range of voices and perspectives with respect and a desire to understand and form authentic relationships. We recognize creating a culture that includes all individuals requires action from the whole community: students, staff, and families. Collectively, we are committed to being open, assuming the best in everyone, and creating an inclusive environment which values physical safety, mental health, as well as everyone’s well-being. We respect our boundaries and the boundaries of others and provide a space for restorative practices while holding safety and empathy at the forefront. As a community, we celebrate each other’s culture, including our own, and remember to stay present, stay humble and encourage joy.
