We are very pleased to announce that in a board meeting of Dodgeville High School last night, the board approved the request from students to start a chapter of We Are Many – United Against Hate (WAM – UAH) to build an inclusive school and welcoming community for all. The students also released this short video. We will encourage you to please watch and share it with others to become part of these villages we are creating on each of these educational institutions (High Schools – Colleges) to promote inclusivity. We would personally like to thank Ryan Bohnsack, Principal, Dodgeville High School School, Board of Directors, Ben Dorscheid (liaison between WAM -UAH and students), and students. Dodgeville is a rural high school which is our primary target for education.
