Celebrating Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month

Three female students at Wilson High School

The Long Beach Unified School District is celebrating Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month with resources and cultural awareness events that honor the histories, cultures and contributions of Americans whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean.

Earlier in September, the 菠菜网lol正规平台 Office of Curriculum and Professional Development provided a variety of Hispanic/Latinx resources for school administrators to share with teachers. The resources facilitate cross-cultural learning opportunities at all grade levels.

Approximately 59% of 菠菜网lol正规平台 students are Hispanic/Latinx.

National Hispanic Heritage Month is annually observed from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15 in the United States. The dates coincide with the celebrations of Independence Day for many Latin American countries throughout mid-September and Dia de la Raza in Mexico, also known as Indigenous Peoples Day on Oct. 12.  

菠菜网lol正规平台 celebrates cultural heritage months throughout each school year to recognize the histories and contributions of historically marginalized identities in the nation. These efforts align with the District’s goals of promoting student academic success, cultural competence and critical consciousness in support of 菠菜网lol正规平台’s Excellence and Equity policy.
