Marist High School’s 2nd Annual “Celebration of Culture”
Marist High School’s faculty, staff, and students came together to host the second annual Celebration of Culture on Thursday, March 14th, organized by LaToya Hayes, Marist’s Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
The Celebration of Culture is a student inspired event that highlights different cultures and ethnicities at Marist High School. This community wide event features cultural displays, food samplings, and performances. Attendees engaged with different cultures by exploring cultural displays, experiencing diverse performances, and sampling ethnic cuisine.
The event was open to all members of the Marist community, and to the public, and took place in our main gym.
When asked what she loves most about this event, LaToya said, “I love that we have dedicated time and space for the Marist community to celebrate and experience various cultures. I hope students will feel enlightened, valued and celebrated at Marist High School.”
We asked a few students who were involved in the night their thoughts on the event and this is what they had to say:
