Brevard Public Schools embraces diversity and promotes belonging. We are honored to support our students and employees year-round and at times of cultural and heritage observances. We value our diversity and how it makes us stronger in building connections and serving all stakeholders with dignity and respect. Through year-round opportunities to recognize diversity and cultural observances, we will foster a culture where all people are valued by respectfully embracing what makes us different as a source of strength to make us stronger together. Although every cultural observance may not be recognized through federal or state proclamation, they are publicly recognized across our country and communities.
