Out of any high school, I think that Grant High is one of the most racially involved. Every quarter we have a student-led race talk session, which creates a safe space for everyone to speak. So far, we have covered: cultural appropriation, immigration laws, gentrification, tokenization, redlining, etc. Additionally, we have an annual cultural kickback where all the affinity groups (JSU, APIA, BSU, MECHA, IPSU) organize an assembly where they speak about a relevant race issue and serve food related to the associated groups. It's a very fun way to learn about someones culture. Not only does Grant address race issues, but also LGBTQ+ issues. During reconstruction, simple men and women's bathrooms were replaced with gender neutral bathrooms, to make sure that everyone is comfortable. Instead of a huge room with numerous stalls, individual stalls were made with actual door handles. Other than these trendsetting qualities, theres a ton of school spirit and I'm thankful to be going to Grant.
Overall my experience at Grant has been good. As I conclude my senior year, I can look back and reflect on my experiences. I have had excellent, supportive teachers at Grant, and the community is positive and supportive. The overall school culture is progressive and accepting of everyone, and I have always felt welcomed, even since Freshman year. However, the Grant community is not very diverse, and because of the gentrification occurring in NE Portland, the majority of the students are white. I think this is a problem that should be addressed.
The teachers there were some of the best I've had. I felt like I made really personal connections with them and that was honestly the best thing ever. Now onto the students. They're really friendly and supportive but Grant has a real problem with diversity by that I mean my whole time going there, there was maybe less than 4 POC in a classroom at any given time. It's so sad to see that still happening and the fact that it's right in front of me and so many others and they chose to turn a blind eye to it. Grant preaches equality but then continues to keep the community gentrified and divided. The school district was recently redrawn and you guessed it they narrowed it down to even richer and whiter neighborhoods and the staff should at least have done the bare minimum and stepped in and said something but they chose to be silent.
