In Central Kitsap Schools, we proudly recognize and celebrate the vibrant cultures, histories, and contributions of our Hispanic/Latin(o/a/x) students, families, and staff! With more than 15% of our students tracing their roots to Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America, we honor the rich diversity that strengthens our community.
From September 15 to October 15, Hispanic/Latin(o/a/x) Heritage Month gives us the opportunity to reflect on and appreciate the enduring influence these individuals have had on both our nation and our local community.
We highlight and celebrate national history and heritage months as a district and in schools throughout the year as part of our commitment to ensuring safe and welcoming learning environments. This includes Black History Month (February); Women’s Heritage Month (March); Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Month (May); Pride Month (June); Hispanic/Latin(o/a/x) Heritage Month (Sept. 15-Oct. 15); Disability History Month (October); and Native American Heritage Month (November).
