Black History Month was created to focus attention on the contributions of African Americans to the United States. It honors all Black people from all periods of U.S. history, from the enslaved people first brought over from Africa in the early 17th century to African Americans living in the United States today.

Thank you for visiting our DEI Resources Page. This is the area of our website where we will share information and events both within our Highlands Elementary School as well as in our great St. Vrain Valley School District and our Erie community.

​

The DEI Committee aims to cultivate a respect for differences in our community through education and engagement with the goal of creating an inclusive environment for students, families, teachers and staff.
