#BreakTheBias this International Women's Day

Head of School Josh Watson and students show their support to #BreakTheBias this International Women's Day

International Women's Day (March 8, 2022) is a day to celebrate women's achievement, to raise awareness against bias, and to take action for equality. On this day, our school will join the worldwide movement to imagine a gender equal world in which all women are valued for their knowledge, experience, and diversity. As a part of our community, you know that at La Pietra we do more than just imagine that world – we live in it.

“The values affirmed by International Women’s Day are central to our work here at La Pietra - Hawai‘i School for Girls,” said Head of School Josh Watson, Ed.D. “Unfortunately, we all know women who have been affected by bias or a lack of gender equity. La Pietra deliberately strives to counter that narrative for all the young people we care so deeply about, and I am proud to see our alumnae carry that work forward after they leave us. This makes International Women’s Day a natural fit with our school’s mission.”
