What an awesome virtual event we had on April 20th to celebrate and designate our 2021-2022 No Place for Hate schools!!  These remarkable schools, educators and students committed the entire year, through substitute shortages, changing pandemic protocols and so much more to ensure they were creating welcoming safe school communities!!!

Special guests included, Jessica Darrow, Luisa from Encanto, Grey Delisle, voice of Scooby-Doo, Fairly OddParents, Avatar: the Last Airbender, and Colorado Congressman Joe Neguse – each sharing their  congratulations and the importance of fighting the good fight, challenging bias and bullying!

We celebrated with words of wisdom from educators, parents and students and in particular our 2021-2022 No Place for Hate Excellence Award Winners – Belleview Elementary School (Cherry Creek School District), Lucile Erwin Middle School (Thompson School District), and Highlands Ranch High School (Douglas County School District)!

Our No Place for Hate Celebration wouldn’t be complete without our student art contest winners, which were highlighted and honored. Check out the winning art here: 2021-2022 Art Winners

What does it take to be a No Place for Hate school?

If you are interested in learning more about ADL’s No Place for Hate program or interested in letting your principal or counselors know about No Place for Hate?

ADL has learned that promoting sustainable, positive change in school climate is a continual, long-term process rather than a final destination. ADL’s No Place for Hate Initiative is a school climate improvement framework that provides preK-12 schools with an organizing framework for combating bias, bullying and hatred, which can lead to long-term solutions to foster and maintain a positive climate. No Place for Hate schools receive their designation in the following ways:

  • Building inclusive and safe communities in which respect is the goal and where all students can thrive.
  • Empowering students, faculty, administration and family members to take a stand against hate and bullying by incorporating new and existing programs under one powerful message.
  • Sending a clear, unified message that all students have a place where they belong.

The most successful No Place for Hate schools make it visible, they get creative, develop a community language, incorporate elements within their curriculum and weave their message of respect into the fabric of daily school life.
