Celebrating Black History Month
SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE

Dear SFUSD Families:
Dear SFUSD Families,

As a school district that values diversity, we believe Black History should be celebrated 365 days a year — 366 in a leap year. The diverse histories, experiences, stories and voices of Black people should be recognized, honored, and uplifted every day.

We also value the fundamental opportunity Black History Month offers schools to acknowledge African Americans as critical to the past, present and future, and we recognize the importance, relevance and origins of Black History Month.

Throughout the month of February, San Francisco public schools host a multitude of lessons, events, performances and more to celebrate Black excellence. I am most excited to participate in the upcoming 28th African American Honor Roll Celebration, which is also the 19th Annual Community Awards Ceremony to celebrate our African American scholars, their families, and the community. As an educator, I cherish these opportunities to recognize the brilliance of our Black students and our collective effort to ensure that they are realizing their boundless potential.

To get the ideas flowing, check out our updated [13] San Francisco Unified School District Black History Month Resource Guide.

In community,

Dr. Wayne
