Affinity Spaces
We are proud to offer affinity groups that honor and uplift the diverse experiences of our students, families, and staff. These spaces are all about building strong communities, sharing valuable resources, and ensuring every family feels a deep sense of belonging.
Families can explore our affinity spaces by participating in events held throughout the year or contacting the group leaders (below). We warmly welcome involvement from current families, alumni, and newcomers alike. If you’re interested in getting involved or want to learn more, use the “Contact Group” feature below. As our community grows, so do our affinity spaces, and we’re excited to support new spaces that further enrich our school's inclusive spirit.
