Inclusive Excellence Calendar
We take great pride in celebrating the diversity of our community by recognizing national heritage months, days, and cultural acknowledgments all year round. These observances offer us a chance to explore the intricate historical, cultural, and social aspects of different identities, while highlighting voices that have frequently been overlooked. Beyond just festivities, our programs and events throughout the year strive to educate others about the histories and numerous contributions of various groups to American society.
