RANGEVIEW HIGH TO BE DESIGNATED AS
NO PLACE FOR HATE
In a school-wide ceremony on Tuesday, April 28, the students and staff at Rangeview High School will celebrate the school’s designation as a No Place for Hate School, having completed a year of anti-bias and anti-bullying programs. Representatives from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) will attend the ceremony and present the school with its official No Place for Hate designation banner.
To earn this distinction, Rangeview formed a No Place for Hate committee, adopted a resolution pledging to create a more inclusive school, participated in ADL’s A World of Difference Institute program, and implemented a number of projects and activities promoting respect for differences.
Rangeview is one of 21 schools in Colorado and Wyoming participating in the No Place for Hate program during the 2008-09 school year.
The Anti-Defamation League, in partnership with many organizations, created No Place for Hate. The program empowers schools and communities to challenge intolerance, bullying, and indifference through action and education. Participating schools make a public commitment to fostering respectful environments for all. Upon completion of five required steps which facilitate inter-group dialogue, inhibit tensions and promote harmony, the school is publicly designated No Place for Hate.
