Statement of Mission
Our mission is to become a justice-centered school community who fuels the unique genius of each student. |

Land Acknowledgement
Brooklyn Center Community Schools acknowledges that we occupy the unceded ancestral and contemporary lands of the Dakota (Dah-koh-tah) people. We also recognize the Anishinaabeg/Ojibwe (Ah-nee-shah-nah-bayg / Oh-jib-way) whose lands were colonized by the United States and are currently occupied by the State of Minnesota. Our community sits upriver from Bdoté (Buh-doh-tay), the place where two rivers meet and most importantly, the center of Dakota (Dah-koh-tah) spirituality and history. We commit to the work of being a justice-centered school community. Together, we will work to decolonize our minds and spaces, and to be good stewards to Mni Sota Makoce (Mini Soh-tah Mah-koh-chay) and good relatives to each other. |
