[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FH is more diverse than SSSAS if that matters[/quote]

At times FH does not feel as diverse as it is.

Interesting bit of history is that FH was created as a white flight school. To their credit, they own this part of their history. Their DEI head MiaBurton is really great.

From their site:
"Our founding, like many other private schools that began in the 1950s, is complicated — a response to the desegregation of public schools led to the creation of many 'white flight' schools, including, at the time, Flint Hill Preparatory. And, while we have completely reorganized in structure, mission, and status — and have become a leader among independent schools for mission, vision, and core values — some of the seeds of that foundation remain paradoxical with the school we are and strive to be today and into the future. While we’re informed by and proud of many aspects of our past, we’re always striving to be better. I am proud to lead a community that has thoughtfully and meaningfully evolved embodying the growth mindset that we envision for our students."

- Patrick McHonett, Head of School[/quote]
