Pirate Nation,
Hispanic Heritage month begins Wednesday, September 15, 2021. The National Hispanic Heritage Month celebration recognizes a diverse group of people with roots in Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries North America, Central America, and South America. As it stands, approximately 62% of the current Chilton ISD population is Hispanic.
This year, the Chilton ISD will celebrate and recognize the contributions of Hispanic culture in Chilton ISD, our community, and our world. The Chilton ISD will choose to celebrate Hispanic Heritage month in the following manners:
- Teachers will participate in a door decorating contest based upon the theme.
- Students are working to present an art gallery recognizing and delineating the contributions of Hispanic culture
- District-wide dress-up day on Friday, October 8, 2021
- District-wide school assembly that highlights Hispanic culture and contributions within the Chilton ISD
