Students at Barnett Junior High signed up for the No
Place for Hate initiative. Barnett is the first AISD school
to participate in the program, which provides schools and
communities with an organizing framework for combating
bias, bullying and hatred, leading to long-term solutions for
creating and maintaining a positive climate. Each student
signed a Resolution of Respect/No Place for Hate Promise
banner and received a Barnett unity bracelet.
