Pledge of Allegiance

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.
