At Saturday morning’s virtual summit, students heard from a panel of LGBTQ+ adults about their professional careers and the challenges they faced during their youth. HISD school leaders, teachers and Superintendent Millard House II told students that they want all students to feel like they belong in the district.
In middle and high school break out groups, students heard about the health and wellness services the district offers, resources from organizations such as the nonprofit Montrose Center and the importance of Gay-Straight Alliance groups in schools.
