We would love any other Seattle Schools alumni to join the conversation!
“Many kids were grappling with whether they would have participated in the voluntary bussing program. We discussed some possible solutions to the disparity in resources among Seattle’s public schools, such as equitably distributing PTSA funds, bussing students, and changing zoning policy to counteract redlining and segregation. We talked a lot about how student government could do more to fight racism at our school.”
“My children are discussing racism at school as part of their classrooms’ Black history month curriculum, and I watched this with them at bedtime. When I asked my son what he learned, he said he never knew about red-lining and that it was illegal for people of color to live in certain neighborhoods.”

We are excited to continue the kick off the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts (or DEI) at Ballard High School!
We want everyone to link arms towards creating a more welcoming, diversity-rich safe space here in our school community where everyone feels a greater sense of belonging, where everyone has a seat at the table, and where students’ and families’ unique cultural perspectives are valued.
