  • Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI)

    September 11, 2022

    AUHSD has the privilege of hosting Arshay Cooper on Monday, Sept 19.  Cooper’s memoir, “A Most Beautiful Thing”, describes growing up with the stresses of gang violence, drugs and poverty, but how an unexpected encounter with a rowing coach turned out to be a life changing experience. Mr. Cooper will dive into his life story, what it took to be part of the first all black high school rowing crew in a historically privileged white male sport and how he developed into the person he is today. The event will be student moderated.
     
    Don't just take our word for it, parent Dan Meade has this to say about Arshay’s appearance in 2020:

    “I really enjoyed Arshay’s book and presentation to the Acalanes community. His experience growing up as a young man, and his perspective on overcoming adversity, were inspiring to students and parents alike. Arshay is a great communicator and a worthy role model!”

    Also coming up are events and activities celebrating Latine Heritage month. Mark your calendars for a community potluck the evening of Thursday, Oct 6 and a special guest on Wednesday, Oct 12.
     
    Please see the Student Activities section below for more details on all of these events.
