GCPS Students for Change

GCPS Students for Change

The Issue

As students who have walked through the halls of many Gwinnett County Schools, from elementary to high school, we urge those in power to recognize and acknowledge our experiences with systematic racism within our school system. We have experienced racial profiling, Eurocentric curricula, and a lack of access to higher level classes. As the coalition of students and the primary party that is most affected, we support and demand the changes outlined in the following letter. We urge fellow students, alumni, families, faculty and staff members, and other community to read, sign, and share the letter below. Together, we can change the GCPS for the better.
