Dobbs Ferry High School Racial and Social Justice Club
Dobbs Ferry High School Racial and Social Justice Club
The High School Racial and Social Justice Club creates a space for students to have active discussions about the prevailing racism in the community and beyond. This club allows open-minded students to practice the IB learner profile traits, such as principled, communicators, and thinkers.
