Black History Month

Celebrate Black History Month with Federal Way Public Schools this February! Join us as we honor the enduring legacy and impactful contributions of African Americans throughout history. This month-long celebration will feature dynamic assemblies, inspiring art projects, soul-stirring musical performances, and much more. We invite you to be part of these meaningful experiences that help shape our shared identity and strengthen our community.

Our commitment to equity goes beyond special events. We work every day to embed equity into our teaching practices, ensuring that each scholar sees themselves reflected in their learning and feels a deep sense of belonging in our schools.

At FWPS, diversity is a strength. Our community is enriched by the contributions of African American and historically underrepresented students. We teach all our students that Black History is not just a chapter—it is a central part of the American story. Our classrooms are living expressions of the belief that celebrating and learning about all cultures enhances the educational experience for everyone.

This commitment to inclusion and equity extends year-round. FWPS is dedicated to removing barriers to academic success and providing culturally responsive, student-centered instruction that meets the needs of all learners. We invite you to explore additional recognitions and events in the FWPS Cultural & Religious Calendar, embracing the diversity that defines our educational community: https://www.fwps.org/culturalcalendar
