CR North and the other schools were honored for their commitment to making their learning communities more respectful and inclusive.

To earn the No Place for Hate designation, each school planned and executed at least three anti-bias or anti-bullying projects during the school year.

Every project was required to have a demonstrable impact on the entire school community, and to address at least one No Place for Hate theme:

  • celebrating diversity
  • promoting respect for differences, or
  • challenging bias or bullying

The No Place for Hate designations are part of ADL's national program, which has grown to include more than 1,600 schools across the United States. Regional Schools have pointed to the impact of the program on school climate.
