Last week, nine members of our faculty, staff, and administration traveled to Denver, CO, to attend the 2024 NAIS People of Color Conference (PoCC). The conference is an annual professional development experience that enriches the culture and community of independent schools and provides attendees with opportunities to learn, network, and share insights. This year, our SCDS representatives participated in a variety of impactful workshops led by independent school educators from around the world. 

This year’s theme, “Meeting the Moment: Anchoring and Enriching Our Education Futures,” served as a powerful call to action, and attendees were inspired by keynote speakers such as Sekou Andrews, a celebrated spoken word poet; Kenji Yoshino, an NYU law professor and authority on constitutional and anti-discrimination law; and Karen Walrond, an author and leadership consultant who focuses on compassionate, values-driven leadership.

We are proud to have had such a strong presence at this meaningful event and look forward to incorporating the insights gained into our school community!
