The McKean High School community recognizes we live in a diverse world. We vow to empower our students, families, staff, faculty and community to challenge oppressive structures in our school environment. We seek to enable equity and a voice for all of our members’ races, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations (LGBTQIA+), religions, countries of origin, and languages spoken in our community. Our ultimate goal is to permanently establish a more anti-racist/ anti-biased school, classrooms, curriculum, pedagogy, and environment.
