Celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

This May, we invite our students, staff, and community to join us in celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. As we explore the rich history, diverse cultures, and significant contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, we recognize the impact these communities have had on our nation and our state.

On May 7, 1843, the first Japanese immigrants arrived in the United States, marking a pivotal moment in our country’s history. This month, we reflect on such milestones and embrace the opportunity to learn more about the narratives that have shaped our present.
