ACS Equity Statement

Equity and Inclusion Plan

Equity Statement:

Asheboro City Schools denounces racism. We are committed to treating all people as equals with respect and dignity at all times. We recognize that our differences don’t divide us, but make us stronger. While we know there is much work to do, the district’s Equity Team and the Race and Equity board policy were created to promote and encourage racial equity and social justice through education, reflection, partnerships, engagement, and advocacy.

Take Action!

We encourage volunteerism and mentorship in our schools. Contact a school to get involved. Asheboro City Schools needs you!
