"The Harvey Milk Civil Rights Academy embraces the diversity of our children and the families at our school. We are building a social justice movement within our own school and our community. Our school not only incorporates fairness, equality and respect for diversity into the curriculum, we live it daily. We see our school as a model for schools around the country."- Carmen Morrison, Co- Chair, Friends of Harvey Milk Board Member and K-2 Hip Hop Instructor.

About the Harvey Milk Civil Rights Academy
Harvey Milk Civil Rights Academy (HMCRA)is a small public school in the Castro. Our mission is to empower student learning by teaching tolerance and non-violence, celebrating our diversity, building strong home-school community connections, and understanding the lessons from the Civil Rights, Social Justice and Peace Movements. We celebrate the diversity of our students and families (racial, economic, ability and in family make up). Our teachers and parents are committed to closing the achievement gap for all of our students, and to providing the education, attention and support so that all our children can grow academically, socially, physically and emotionally, at their own pace and ability.
