Puerto Rican culture comes alive in new class

A brand new Puerto Rican Studies course is shaking up the 12th grade curriculum next spring, and it’s not just about textbooks—students will actually travel to Puerto Rico to experience the culture firsthand! Ms. Justianna, who spent a decade living on the island, wants students to connect with their roots and traditions in a way that’s accessible for everyone—no passport needed. Elijah Ramos, a senior, says he’s excited to learn more about his heritage and family. This class is more than a history lesson; it’s a chance to build community and understanding. Who else thinks more schools should offer experiences like this? #Education #PuertoRicanStudies #CulturalHeritage
