Hammond High's Cultural Proficiency workshop is an innovative approach to providing professional learning to students, staff and parents in order to develop a community that embraces diversity in our school and society as a whole. The workshop cultivates an inclusive environment where participants collaborate as equal and valued members of a community that is enriched by its diversity. At the end of the workshop, student participants engage in student voice projects where they delve into identifying and creating solutions that build our school's ability to meet the social and emotional needs of our community.
