Land Acknowledgement

  • PUSD’s Think Tank recognizes that we are guests in the homeland territory of the Hahamong'na and Tongva people. We extend our respect and gratitude to the many indigenous people who call these lands home.

Mission

  • PUSD’s Think Tank is a student-led initiative whose mission is to create a safe space for students to connect across campuses, raise consciousness about Pasadena’s history, and to provide a platform through which students can create equity within the district and the region.  
     
    On Thursday, April 28, 2022, the Think Tank offered a presentation to PUSD's Board. They were followed by a talk given by the district's Ethnic Studies teachers
