Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee (DEIC)

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee (DEIC) supports an educational environment where diverse viewpoints and backgrounds are welcomed and respected. We work to ensure Harvey Milk staff, students, and families feel comfortable, empowered, and able to engage in meaningful conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our efforts support a growth mindset as we work toward a school community free from racism, classism, sexism, heterosexism, ableism, ageism, Islamophobia, and transphobia.

• Hosts community conversations, film screenings, and workshops that center identity, equity, and belonging.
• Facilitates book groups, family learning nights, and speaker events that spark dialogue and build shared understanding.
