Ashland High School is proud to affirm and support our LGBTQ2SIA+ community because EVERY STUDENT BELONGS. We affirm the identity of each student and we acknowledge and honor our differences because together we create a sense of belonging for all.
Transgender youth are an integral part of Oregon schools, making up 8 percent of the students we serve. In our continued action to make our schools safer & inclusive, Ashland High School is committed to implementing recommendations within the LGBTQ2SIA+ Student Success Plan! We will continue to identify & counteract biased practices that perpetuate achievement disparities & lead to disproportionate levels of student success.
Find support, learn together, and be loved as we learn more about transgender advocacy!
