Affinity Groups
What is an affinity group?
"The affinity space was a place of affirmation and empowerment that we all so desperately needed. We acknowledged shared experiences in ways that were productive, valuable, and meaningful. It was a brave space that preserved our dignity as a people." - Trina Moore-Southall

A place for students to learn about and celebrate their culture and heritage.
Held on Tuesdays in room 18 with Folsom.
A safe space for all Black and multiracial students to come together in community and celebrate excellence in our community.
To be Determined
The goals of MEChA are to promote and recruit students into higher education, retain our cultural identity, preserve and study our history, maintain ties with our community, and become politically active. Some of the activities we have done in the past include Lotería night, workshops (such as Cinco de Mayo and Mujeres in Latina America), and bringing in speakers from our community, as well as fundraisers for our affinity group.
Held on Wednesdays in Room 27 with Mr. Torres/ Ms. Gonzalez.
Life Gets Better Together
For students who identify as part of or support the LGBTQ+ community. Members work to manifest a safe and caring space where students can explore and express their identities. We work to raise awareness about LGBTQ+ issues and to promote understanding of inequitable treatment within our community.
Held on Tuesdays in Room (39) with Laansoo
Middle Eastern/ North African/South Asian
A group for all students of Middle Eastern, North African, and South Asian heritage. It's a fun place to explore the various aspects of culture that unite us. We advocate for the people of the region and strive to educate them about their culture. To be Determined
