Hero
Members of the Lovett community share in mutually beneficial expectations, practices, and commitments to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging, which allow us all to thrive. As an inclusively Christian school, we are a community rooted in love and belonging for all, with a profound respect for diversity, service to others, and moral awareness. We share the knowledge that we are richer given the unique and individual identities within our Lion family.
Our community wholeheartedly believes that Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging significantly enhance the outcomes and experiences of and in a Lovett education, independent of their background and or identity. We recognize that striving to be a diverse and inclusive community is an ever-evolving imperative that requires empathy, a growth mindset, and skill.
