DIVERSITY

Overlake is a community that understands the educational and social value of diversity. However, at Overlake we go beyond valuing diversity. We push one another to examine the dynamics of diversity from a global perspective so that we can become responsible citizens dedicated to social justice and community service.

Here is how we interpret our mission statement in the context of our diversity effort.

• Inspire Excellence …through critical thought and conversation
• Develop Intellectual Curiosity…by exploring the dynamics of our diverse world and nation
• Teach Responsibility…by promoting social justice through community and education
• Foster a Compassionate Community…by stepping out of our comfort zones and discussing issues of race, ethnicity, religion, class, gender and sexual orientation
