A Bold Path to Inclusive Excellence

We strive daily to be a school community where we all feel welcome, where racism is dismantled and there is no discrimination of any kind; one where everyone is treated equitably, with respect and kindness. The journey comes with brave conversations and constant reckoning. Anti-racism, equity, diversity and inclusion are interwoven into all that we do.

Equity is neither optional nor negotiable. This is who we are as a school; these are the values to which we will be held accountable. We are vested with a deep determination. We have a vision, and a plan, and the will of our community behind us. We can do better, and we will, together.

UTS has evolved throughout its history to meet the changing needs of graduates and the world in which they will make an impact. Through introspection and dialogue with our community, it became clear that we needed to engage in a mission towards truly inclusive excellence, for the good of our students and the greater world.

Dr. Tavares has galvanized every member of UTS to enhance our personal and school commitment to anti-racism and equity with courageous curiosity. We are taking on the most challenging questions, exploring under the surface, unlearning and relearning. With humility and gratitude, we are holding ourselves accountable to bold improvement to be an anti-racist, more equitable and welcoming school.
