The South Hadley School District is committed to initiating and supporting policies, practices, and pedagogies that promote social justice, diversity and inclusion.  In celebration of our collective rich diversity, we also seek to affirm and elevate historically marginalized identities and experiences.  We are fervent in our belief that biased actions and hateful speech have no place in our learning community.  As one unified South Hadley School District, our commitment to social justice and educational equity will be reflected in our daily operations including recruitment, admission, student and staff retention, responsibility for modeling and reinforcing upstander behavior, school and family support, hiring practices, curriculum, and respectful dialogue.
