Students from La Jolla’s The Bishop’s School and La Jolla Country Day School have helped organize the first Regional Student Diversity Summit, a virtual two-day conference scheduled for Feb. 27-28.
They’re joined in the effort by students from Francis Parker and Pacific Ridge schools. The idea came up last year at The Bishop’s School, but after the COVID-19 pandemic shut down in-person gatherings, the directors of diversity at each school put together an online student meeting to talk about collaboration on the conference.

The first Regional Student Diversity Summit is a virtual, two-day conference at the end of February, organized by students from The Bishop’s School, Francis Parker, La Jolla Country Day and Pacific Ridge schools. Last year, the idea came up at The Bishop’s School, but after the COVID-19 pandemic shut down in-person gathering, the directors of diversity at each school put together an online student meeting to talk about collaboration on the conference.
“At the beginning of our planning process, we laid down the groundwork: Who is this meant for? What issues are we focused on? What do we want students to take away from this? Why does what we do matter?” the conference organizers said in a collective statement. “Obviously, we had disagreements, but through those conflicts, we … became more comfortable with each other and began to openly share our ideas.”
