North Middle School and South Middle School were recognized by the Anti-Defamation League as official Gold Star No Place for Hate Schools at a ceremony in New York City on May 25, receiving banners in recognition of their status.
The program provides a model for combating bullying, racism, and prejudice in schools. To become a No Place for Hate School, schools needed to form a committee to oversee and promote harmony and respect for differences, officially present the “Resolution for Respect,” and hold three or more activities during the year that celebrated diversity and promoted respect.
