Cultural inclusion here at ACP is one of the things that make our wonderful school what it is today. Not only does our uniqueness foster a vehement sense of community but also endless and everlasting relationships are forged over the years of a student’s high school career. Our school is an aroma of diversity, empowerment, and inspiration. It is one of the many endless places where individuals can open up and be themselves without the fear of judgment. Students were able to learn more about the many other cultures that exist, promoting respect for others’ customs and traditions as well as how they live and function. There is an undeniably beauty in displaying one’s culture, and that is exactly what so many students and teachers at ACP during Cultural Attire Spirit Day!

On Friday, April 5th, students were encouraged to display and showcase their unique culture through their outfits. From Mexico and Brazil to India and Pakistan, there were stunning outfits students proudly wore as they strode through the halls of ACP High School. Students had the opportunity to share their culture heritage and ethnicity from their traditional dresses, national flags, meaningful artifacts, and personal stories. It also increases the understanding and acts as a form of academic enrichment, as students have the ability to grasp the knowledge of the contributions of other cultures and spreads awareness of their diversity. Essentially, exposing students to a diverse range of different ideas, options, and cultural backgrounds, helps students to be more open-minded, a valuable asset to have for the present and later in life after high school. 

This day of cultural diversity was an absolute success; students with cultural backgrounds from almost all over the world showed up to school in their unique clothing. The most beautiful fact about this day was that it demonstrated unity between different cultures and people which fostered more connectivity, intertwining our school together to be known for what it is to this day, a school of endless possibilities and a diversity like no other. Cultural Attire Spirit Day garnered excitement all around the school because students and staff had the chance to exhibit their traditions and their love for their culture, highlighting the utmost importance for a school transition such as this to be upkept each year. Go Knights!
