The History and Legacy of Private Schools in Pasadena- and the Path Forward

A 90-minute discussion with Ralinda Watts about the research she has uncovered about the storied inception of the Pasadena independent school landscape and its impact on public schools and the greater Pasadena community.

Join us for an evening of engaging dialogue as we explore the history and legacy of private schools in Pasadena, California-one of the last cities in Los Angeles County to desegregate. This program, hosted at Walden School, will begin with a presentation delving into the historical roots of private schools in the area, the legacies they uphold, and the challenges and opportunities they present for fostering inclusivity and belonging.

Following the history, a dynamic panel discussion and Q&A will invite participants to reflect on the past, confront its implications, and envision a more equitable future for school communities. This event is open to all and is part of the Conversations That Speak series, curated by RalindaSpeaks, designed to spark meaningful dialogue and action. Don't miss this opportunity to connect, learn, and contribute to the path forward.

Let's be in conversation together as we ask: Where do we go from here?
