| contents | Park View High School: A World of Achievement Educational Environment Teachers High Schools Academic Achievement Cultural Pluralism Equal Education Access to Education Educational Quality Leadership Administrators Principals Cooperation Entering the lobby of Park View High School in Sterling, VA, is like entering another world. The diversity in the student body is reflected in flags from 63 of the 80 countries that are represented in the student population, and in a special project for Hispanic Heritage Month, which covers the walls of an entire hallway. The school walls, hallways, and stairwells are a celebration of outstanding achievement, featuring students' academic work, photos of high achievers on Virginia state tests, student honors and trophies, class murals, paintings, sculptures, and other artwork. Diversity is also reflected among class officers and student representatives and by a notable sense of friendship among different cultures and races. This article illustrates the school's commitment to equity among all students. Evidence of this commitment is abundant. An equity facilitation team that is composed of counselors and classroom teachers provides basic equity training to help teachers create culturally responsive classrooms. Other areas of emphasis on equity include ensuring that the library is open to all students before and after school for students who do not have a computer and other resources at home. |
