In honor of Black History Month, the District is hosting a virtual event series. The qualities we wish to see in our Clayton graduates are self-actualization, intellectual curiosity, cultural competence, empathy, creative thinking and the ability to collaborate. We hope these events will help students, staff and families alike learn something new and encourage the growth of these aforementioned skills.
