Diversity. Equity. Inclusion.
Experience a true sense of belonging at Lake Highland.
Lake Highland has created and continues to foster a program, culture, and inclusive community of students, faculty, staff, administrators, and families who respect and embrace various cultures, backgrounds, and identities within our community and our world. Acknowledging diversity, equity, and inclusivity are essential to a complete education and create an opportunity for Highlanders to experience the love, concern, and respect integral in fulfilling our mission.
Cultivating Connections
Whether it be providing club time, allowing community leaders to present about mental health, or inviting students to participate in the Student Diversity Leadership Conference, Lake Highland has become more focused on allowing students to have meaningful conversations about who they are, and I’ve been able to learn a lot from amazing people. I’ve become more concentrated on considering all issues from multiple perspectives, and a large part of that is thanks to Lake Highland’s inclusion efforts.

Thanks to the dedication and effort Lake Highland has placed around diversity, equity, and inclusion, I have always felt accepted and included on campus. From learning about respecting all identities during Unity Day to responsiveness toward DEI issues, I have always felt like DEI is taken seriously here.

The DEI initiative is one of the top reasons we chose LHP for our daughter. It means the world to us that her education will help her become a compassionate leader, who understands our community is stronger when founded on these principles.

DEI gives my child an opportunity to celebrate and learn about herself and her culture, meet other students like her, celebrate her individuality, feed positivity, and provide much-needed mentorship in her formative years. I appreciate Lake Highland's DEI initiatives and what they provide our students, their families, and those who wish to learn and participate.
Parent
I have gained the skills to make the world a brighter place for others through DEI. I feel inspired to continue this work into college and beyond.

The DEI work at Lake Highland has been inspiring because I feel like so many groups on campus were celebrated for their history and culture that had not gotten the spotlight before. It is amazing to see the campus become an even more accepting and welcoming environment every day because of the DEI initiatives.
