At the Wheeler School, we recognize that our school exists in a community, state, country, and world represented by a multitude of cultures and viewpoints. In everything from academic programs to athletic programs, as well as extra-curricular and co-curricular activities, Wheeler endeavors to create an inclusive environment for people and perspectives from a variety of cultures, backgrounds, and ways of life. The office includes a Director, four divisional ECB Coordinators, and a Student Support Coordinator for non-traditional college counseling and postgraduate success.

Our Campus Culture

A Multicultural, Anti-Racist Approach

The Office of Equity, Community & Belonging develops programs, initiatives, and curriculum across all divisions and provides ample opportunities for candid dialogue, which will further strengthen unity within our diversity. Wheeler’s required education program is about having respect for others, regardless of age, gender, race, ability, sexual orientation, economic status, or religion. The curriculum utilizes texts and materials that give voice to those people and perspectives previously unheard and includes sensitivity on the part of our faculty, staff, and administration to the circumstances that affect the lives of our students, families, and colleagues on a day-to-day basis. Adults at Wheeler engage in ongoing professional development opportunities in the area of multicultural teaching and learning and in cultivating and maintaining an inclusive, anti-racist community.
