Garfield High School is hosting Reclaiming the Village, a follow-up to the inaugural summit held in August. This event is created to center Black families, students, and the community-based organizations that support them.
The purpose is to build stronger relationships, connect families to meaningful supports, and gather input to inform how we improve—especially in how we support students and partner with families.
This event is part of Garfield’s broader commitment to building stronger partnerships with families.
