All In The Campaign for Blair Academy 2018-2025
We Are Listening
Blair Academy

Blair Academy stands in solidarity with people of color during this moment of cultural reckoning, and we acknowledge that incidents on our campus have occurred that do not reflect this solidarity. We are committed to listening, learning and making the changes that we recognize need to happen at Blair. As part of that work, tonight, Blair's Inclusivity Committee is hosting the first in a series of small-group discussions in which we will talk to students, parents and alumni about current events, share ideas, and identify ways to ensure we can better understand and improve the Blair experience for all students, no matter the color of their skin. We are committed to doing more and being better. Dealing with the many things that have led us to this moment, both on our campus and off, is essential. These discussions will inform curricular changes, teacher training, hiring practices and other work to promote empathy across our community. Please know that our purpose is to listen and learn from every member of the Blair family who wishes to share his or her thoughts.
