Summit Schedule

The Fall 2017 Summit theme is “Resist Oppressive Forces: Unite and Protect our Diverse Communities”

Student leaders and members from the Delta High School Queer-Straight Alliance (QSA) student club selected the theme of “Resist Oppressive Forces: Unite and Protect our Diverse Communities.” Their statement reads: LGBT+ folks come from diverse backgrounds. As a community we must stand together in solidarity, united over our commonalities and celebrating our differences.
