GAY-STRAIGHT ALLIANCE

The Gay-Straight Alliance works to improve Potomac's climate for all students, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression. Not just for students who identify themselves as gay, the GSA is a safe place to grapple with issues on such diverse topics as bullying, civil rights, language and culture. It provides opportunities for students to discuss topics relating to sexual orientation, both here at Potomac and in the world at large. In addition, as part of a network of GSAs (there are more than 4,000 chapters in high schools across the United States), it provides support, education and activities designed to promote recognition and equality for all people.[/quote]

Good for Potomac!!! For all of the families that might choose to leave a school that values all of its students (knowing that too many young people's lives are at risk when they are struggling with their sexual identity), I imagine that many, many families choose Potomac because it cares about the health and well-being of its entire student body. I also appreciate it being a place where students who identify as straight learn about respecting differences and being an ally for marginalized voices. Potomac gets extra points in my book.
