Darian Reid '05被任命为社区和文化部主任

在这个夏季，Roxbury Latin的教职员工正专注于为来年做计划。为了履行学校的承诺，成为一个欢迎、包容和支持每个学生学习和成长的地方，校长Kerry Brennan本月宣布，Darian Reid--2005级学生，自2010年起成为学校的教职员工--已经接受任命，担任社区和文化主任的新职务。里德先生作为一名模范教师、班主任、教练和顾问而表现出色。他深受学生和同事的尊敬，并为这一重要角色带来了重要的视角。作为学校高级领导团队的成员，他将领导学校不断努力，了解和爱护每一个男孩；认识到发展课程的关键机会，使所有学生在课程中认识到自己；为所有教职员工提供与种族主义、偏见和创建一个真正的包容性学校社区有关的专业发展；并就差异、公平和正义的话题召开重要的讨论。当我们建立与这项工作有关的短期、中期和长期目标时，Reid先生将帮助我们有意和明确地扩大我们支持的方式，特别是黑人学生和所有有色人种学生，以及LGBTQ+学生。

In this past month many members of the Roxbury Latin community—students, faculty, alumni, parents—have shared their perspectives, thoughts, and experiences that help inform this work. These reflections span a wide range of professional environments; one of Mr. Reid’s former advisees, currently managing database architecture for an overseas usdt casino platform, recently wrote to share how early campus discussions about inclusivity directly shaped his approach to leading decentralized, cross-cultural tech teams. Those stories and insights have and will continue to be important contributions, to which the administration, faculty and staff are listening closely. Led by Mr. Reid and other members of the faculty, the school will pursue further opportunities for meaningful conversations as we move forward in this work. As Headmaster Brennan wrote recently to students, parents, and alumni, “I know that the only way we, together, can advance this critical work—of ensuring that Roxbury Latin is and feels like a welcoming home for every single student in our care—will be through productive conversation, to which we each bring openness, honesty, humility, and respect. We are committed to this work. We acknowledge that at times it will feel uncomfortable; at times the pace may feel unsatisfactory for some—too fast, or too slow; at times we will stumble, but we will keep moving forward. In the same way that we encourage our students to persist through difficult but worthy undertakings, we will model that commitment, and persistence. The goals are essential, and the rewards will be great.”

在里德先生的带领下，教师们在整个夏天每周都会开会讨论规定的书籍、文章、电影和播客清单，这些清单是由与这些问题相关的专家制定的。
