South High in Denver Embraces Diversity

If the world is fast becoming a global village, South High School in Denver, CO is a microcosm of that cultural shift. This school has found a unique way to embrace diversity. The first day of school for ninth-graders this week was like a visit to the United Nations, with kids from 40 different countries speaking more than 60 different languages in the hallways. Last year, 33 percent of the students at South were English-language learners, compared with 31 percent throughout the entire school district. After English and Spanish, the languages most widely spoken at South are Arabic, Nepali, Karen, Somali, French, Russian and Burmese. Click here to read more.
