The Board of Trustees recognized Rouse as No Place for Hate campus along with 36 other schools, Thursday, Sept. 10 at the LISD Board meeting. C² members, along with sponsors Andrea Breeden and Jamie Maples and principal John Graham, were on hand for the award.

“It feels great to be recognized by the district,” C² sophomore Maria Gonzalez Nunez said.

To earn distinction for a No Place for Hate school from the Anti-Defamation League, C² participated in three activities that showed Rouse students can comprehend, accept and sign the Resolution of Respect.

“[As one activity] We did True Beauty, where you wear no make-up to show that girls are beautiful last year,” Nunez said. “Because of that, we got recognized.”

C² was given a banner that will be hung up in the cafeteria for the achievement.
