Demographics

I am a World History II teacher at Huguenot High School located in the city of Richmond, Virginia. Huguenot services the Southside of Richmond, specifically Forest Hill and Bon Air. It consists of about 1,500 students from various socioeconomic backgrounds, roughly 53% African American, 38% Hispanic, and 6% White. With a notable presence of immigrant families, Huguenot’s student population includes a high percentage of English Language Learners (ELL). It falls within the district average in the following categories: college readiness, proficient in reading, proficient in mathematics, and proficient in science. The diversity of the school enhances the environment which contributes to an inclusive educational experience for all students. That being said, Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy during the Civil War and was the most industrialized city in the South making it the perfect city for students to analyze.
