La Mesa Junior High School
Over the past several years, La Mesa Junior High School has quietly but steadily strived to create a school environment where all students feel safe and respected. At La Mesa, diversity is seen as a strength and not as a liability.
Through the collaborative efforts of administrators, staff, students and parents, La Mesa has developed a host of programs and activities designed to ensure that their students'emotional and academic needs are met. There has been a particular emphasis on bullying prevention and on breaking down social barriers between student groups.
Programs and activities that help support La Mesa's outstanding diversity awareness effort include:
- African American Parent Partnership
- Anti-Bullying Club
- AVID
- Brown Bag Lunch With Local Community Leaders
- Bully Box
- Counselors visit classes at various times of year to discuss bully prevention
- Cultural assemblies
- Mix It Up Day
- Multicultural Luncheon
- No Name Calling Week
- PEACE class
- Peer Mediators
- Safe School Ambassadors
- Staff Development focused on African American and ELL students
- Teen Truth Presentation
The entire La Mesa school community is actively engaged in making the school a place where all staff and students feel welcomed and appreciated.
The Valuing Diversity Award is presented for these outstanding efforts.
Congratulations, Lobos!
