A Commitment to Inclusion!
We are absolutely thrilled to share this amazing "Spread the Word" pledge banner, covered top-to-bottom in the signatures of our incredible students!
As part of the Special Olympics Unified Champion Schools program, our students have formally pledged to be inclusive and make our school a more welcoming and accepting place for everyone.
What does inclusion mean to you? Tell us in the comments!
Huge thank you to Kareem Simpson (work-based mentor, Duncanson Program Manager at Taft Museum of Art, and Holmes High School alumna) and Krista King-Oaks (Assistant Director of School-Based Learning for the Cincinnati Art Museum) for providing an incredible tour for our HHS students as part of the Covington Work-Based Mentoring Program!
Ms. King-Oaks brought the experience to life by sharing the work of Robert S. Duncanson, a renowned 19th-century landscape painter born in Covington, Kentucky who became one of the first internationally recognized African American artists. Students had the unique opportunity to compare and contrast Duncanson’s work they’ve studied at the Taft with pieces at the CAM, deepening their understanding and appreciation.
In addition to exploring Duncanson’s paintings and other notable works of art, students also learned about a variety of career and volunteer opportunities in the arts, including roles such as curators, docents, museum educators, conservators, exhibit designers, archivists, and visitor services staff.
We’re so grateful for community partners who open doors, spark curiosity, and help students see what’s possible!
