Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month at Peninsula School District

From September 15 to October 15, Peninsula School District proudly celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month. This month is a time to honor the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of the Hispanic and Latinx communities that have shaped and continue to enrich our country.

In an educational setting, embracing and celebrating diverse cultures fosters an inclusive environment where students and staff can learn from one another. We believe that cultural diversity strengthens our school community, promoting understanding, respect, and unity among all.

Did you know? Hispanic Heritage Month begins on September 15 to commemorate the independence anniversaries of several Latin American countries, including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. This celebration also extends to Mexico’s independence on September 16 and Chile’s on September 18.

We invite you to join us in recognizing the incredible contributions of Hispanic and Latinx communities, as we celebrate the values of diversity and inclusion in our schools.
