âItâs timeâÂ
High school takes holistic approach to address issues of racial and cultural inequity.
What does it mean to be culturally and racially proficient as an educational institution? What steps can be taken both in and out of the classroom in order to have tough conversations and make lasting progress as an inclusive, equitable environment?
These are the questions the Marthaâs Vineyard Regional High School (MVRHS) is asking, in order to create a better social and educational experience for all students.
Dhakir Warren, administrator of student affairs at MVRHS, said although these kinds of conversations have always been necessary in schools, the community conversation that is ongoing was sparked in part by the murder of George Floyd by a police officer.

The newly formed Black Student Alliance Club (BSAC) at Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School (MVRHS) had its first meeting on January 7. Founded by junior Emmett Favreau and sophomore Graysen Kirk, BSAC was created to provide a forum for the school community to address issues of systemic racism and inequality through discussion and social justice activities.
“I had been hoping to start something like [the BSAC] at school, because I feel like there’s a lack of education in general across the country and [Martha’s Vineyard] is not really an exception,” said Graysen. “It’s important to create a safe space for people of color in the schools and create a place where white people can be educated.”
