On January 12, 14 students and five staff members from Marlboro High School (MHS) attended the regional No Place for Hate conference at Siena College. Inspired by civil rights activist Bayard Rustin’s concept of “Angelic Troublemakers,” attendees engaged in workshops designed to help them recognize biases and cultivate empathy. The conference, which focused on helping each student find their own voice and ability to help others, empowered participants to create a positive impact on their school environment. Afterwards, the Marlboro students shared that they believed the No Place for Hate program has contributed to improving the school climate at MHS, helping to foster a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout the building. A group of students and staff from Marlboro Middle School also participated in the STOP (Students Together Opposing Prejudice) conference.
